If you haven't given your local meal prep kitchen a try, you are really missing out. In the last ten years these kitchens have been started in locations all around the country bringing yet another option for preparing dinner to busy people. These meal assembly kitchens are just as affordable and fast as fast food while still giving you the comfort of eating at home and the nutrition you would get with home cooked meals.
Meal assembly kitchens, are where customers spend a couple of hours putting together a week (or a month) of imaginative, nutritious and delicious dinners they can then take home and either cook up that evening or freeze for a future home-cooked dinner. But, there are at least five benefits that customers of these unique establishments have come to know and love.
1. A Time Saver On So Many Levels
Through preparing the meals ahead of time and just needing to throw them in the oven you save a great deal of time. However, for those that don't even have the time to do this, most meal assembly facilities also have the option of picking up already assembled meals. Some will even deliver the meals once they are assembled. Most offer the option of choosing your meals and whether or not to assemble them online and let you arrange a time for pick up.
The meals that you get through this process are much healthier than fast food, and many times they are actually cheaper as well. It is a great alternative to boring and unhealthy fast food meals, which can get old pretty fast.
2. Easy and Convenient To Make Happen
Gourmet studio kitchens are designed with meal assembly stations complete with recipes, fresh ingredients, spices, measuring cups, spoons, and containers. Many customers thrill at the experience of having all the drudge kitchen work like shopping, cleaning, slicing, chopping and otherwise preparing the ingredients handled by staff professionals; thus, allowing the customer to breeze in, assemble the prepared recipe items at warp speed and leave the clean-up to the help.
3. Tons of Meals to Choose From
If you are tired of always eating the same things over and over, these kitchens give you a great chance to try new things. Each month they offer a variety of new options, while still saving the old favorites that everyone loves. You can choose to get something different each time, or stick to the things you like the best. You can even get meals that have been removed from the menu if you ask at some locations.
4. Family Magnetic
The meal prep kitchen not only allows you to make family friendly meals, it can also help to bring your family closer together.
The meal-prep concept was founded on a mission of helping busy families eat together around the dinner table. In a few hours a dozen family dinners can be prepared for you to take home and freeze until needed. Many customers bring their spouse or children to help with the assembly. The spouse and the children are almost always taken by the experience of putting their own meals together. Great fun!
As you assemble, you can also tailor the meals to suit your family, for example, omitting an ingredient or adding a little more of another. Meal prep staffs encourage customers to amend the seasonings to fit one's family's taste as well as to break the large portions into 2 or even 3 small ones for smaller families.
Great family memories are usually created around the dinner table, so make this easy and affordable through the use of these pre-assembled dinners. You can determine the number that you need each month based on your schedules.
5. Carefree Vacation Meals
You can make your vacation even more enjoyable by bringing along some of your favorite prepackaged meals to heat up so you won't have to worry about what's for dinner.
Conclusion
Once you try them you will probably think that meal prep kitchens are one of the best inventions of our time. You can get great nutritious meals while spending very little time or money.
