I’ve tried a variety of meal kits that had me working over a hot stove. It’s been in the 90s in NYC every day this past week; the last thing I want to do is spend extra time in the kitchen. That’s why I was incredibly excited to try GoReadyMade. I thought these meals could just pop into the oven or microwave (depending on preference) and would be ready to go. I learned the service is a bit more complicated than that—but still easier than shopping and cooking from scratch.
Signing up for GoReadyMade is fairly simple: You enter your email and zip code to find the availability and delivery days in your area. Next you have to select how many meals you want. You can choose four meals a week for $12.50 per meal, six meals for $10.99, eight meals for $9.99 or 10 meals for $8.99. All options include free shipping. Now, it’s important to note that each meal is single serving. So theoretically you could get 10 totally separate meals, but if you’re smart (like I wasn’t) you’d get a couple of each so dinnertime requires prepping one meal, not two or more.
