Great point! Didn't think of it from that angle!!
However - I don't think these services are trying to teach you how to cook any more than boxed mac and cheese is. They are for the "I want to have a home cooked meal but I don't want to make it." types.
Speaking of eggs, I didn't know what I was doing wrong with them for a long time, they weren't bad by any means, just everyone else did them better. Then I was having a conversation with my mom about how she makes better eggs than me. She told me "eggs are done before they are done." Now I cook eggs like a champ.
- idlewords 12y agoI completely agree with you. But I think a number of the recipes (at least the ones I tried) actually had tricky bits that required a little experience. I can see how it would frustrate people who were complete beginners. My own egg epiphany was "cook them on the lowest heat you can, until you think the waiting will make you insane." But you also make an excellent point—ask your mom (or some other person in your life who cooks well)!
