> Maybe I’m just inefficient at cooking but I discovered quite quickly that cooking complex meals at home multiple times per week is actually not something I wanted to do. I found myself spending what felt like an inordinate amount of time on dinner between prep, actual cooking, eating, and extensive cleanup.
The way to be efficient is to cook in bulk so you have leftovers. I typically cook in bulk every Sunday, freeze six portions, and remove a portion from each the six prior weeks from the freezer.
- nilkn 8y agoThis is what I prefer to do, but it's exactly the opposite of how Blue Apron works, which is why I found myself frustrated. BA portions are designed for a single meal (for one or two people [edit: two or four]), so there are no leftovers.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> BA portions are designed for a single meal (for one or two people) Actually, BA portions are designed for a single meal for two or four people, (two people for the regular plan, four for the family plan.)
- nilkn 8y agoThanks for the correction. It's been a while since I used it. We used the two-person plan and I wrongly remembered the other option as being for one person as opposed to four.
