Occasionally it can be difficult to decide whether you’d rather eat out at a restaurant, stay at home and order delivery, or cook yourself a healthy, nutritious meal from scratch. The third option can be one of the most fulfilling and engaging ways to prepare your food, but often involves a significant amount of preparation.
The busy nature of modern life means that between social, work, and family commitments, it can be difficult to find the time to search out interesting new recipes, gather the groceries, and prepare a gourmet home-cooked meal. Often by the time you’ve finished the lengthy preparation process, there’s barely any time left to enjoy the meal before cleaning up the mess that comes with home cooking.
A groundbreaking new meal kit delivery trend, however, is providing home chefs with a convenient way to enjoy fresh, delicious, gourmet home cooking without the associated fuss. Meal kits have exploded in popularity over the last year, and provide home cooks with everything they need to prepare a tasty restaurant-quality meal at home without worrying about grocery shopping or preparation.
There are now many different types of meal kits available online. Some meal kits focus on providing highly nutritious meal plans that are simple and quick to prepare, offering busy fitness and healthy enthusiasts a time-saving alternative to weekly meal prep. Others focus on novel concepts such as food and wine pairings. There are, however, few meal delivery kits that are designed by professional chefs.
A new meal kit delivery service is promising to do just that, with a selection of curated cook-at-home dishes that are designed by a team of internationally-renowned professional chefs. Offering an à la carte selection that takes the stress out of cooking at home while providing a unique and uncommon flavor range, Salted Kits are one of the most popular meal kit providers of 2017.
In this article, we’ll check out Salted Kits and find out what they offer that makes them stand out from other meal kit platforms to help you decide whether it’s worth cooking a Salted Kit tonight.
What is Salted Kits?
Salted Kits is a new meal kit provider that offers a restaurant-quality spin on the standard meal kit delivery formula. The basics of the Salted Kits system are similar to many of the other meal kit delivery platforms out there- Salted Kits provide the basics and the recipe, you do the cooking, and enjoy a curated, perfectly balanced meal at home.
Salted Kits aims to make the at home cooking process as simple and as easy as possible. Each kit contains everything required to create the same dish that you’d expect to see at a high-quality restaurant. Opening a Salted Kits presents home chefs with perfectly portioned ingredients that are pre-measured, which reduces waste, cost, and dramatically cuts down on grocery shopping time.
All of the meal kits available in the Salted Kits range can be created in just 30 minutes, which is ideal for busy professionals that are short on schedule time. Made from fresh ingredients and free from artificial additives, the Salted Kits solution provide home cooking enthusiasts with a selection of fresh ingredients that are easy to transform into a delicious meal.
The Salted Kits Difference
The biggest difference between Salted Kits and other meal kits is the creative team behind the recipes. Instead of a hastily-assembled jumble of basic ingredients prepared by a marketing team, the Salted Kits range consists of carefully designed meals that are formulated by a team of international chefs that have each won several awards in LA.
Each Salted Kit is delivered with a step by step meal card, but the preparation guide process is where Salted Kits really shine. Instead of expecting at home chefs to be able to knock together a restaurant quality meal from scratch, the Salted Kits range provide an exclusive “cooking class” video with each kit.
Working from the perspective that the act of cooking a delicious meal is a highly visual process, the team at Salted Kits provide a cook-along video in the same format as a cooking show to bring a high-quality cooking class experience directly to your kitchen.
