Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do your recipes really take just 10 minutes to prep?
    Pre-cut, pre-washed and pre-mixed ingredients means less work for you. If you’re new to the recipe or a bit rusty in the kitchen, it may take closer to 15 minutes the first time you make a dish. But every recipe is rigorously tested for accurate prep and cook times, so it really shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes once you’ve made the dish a couple times.
  • Can I use my existing oven?
    You can make our recipes in a normal oven, but for best results we recommend using a countertop oven such as the Breville Smart oven or Cuisinart Chef's Oven. We’re obsessed with speed and quality, so our recipes are designed and tested for countertop ovens, which have minimal preheating, faster cooking times and more reliable heating performance than normal ovens.
  • How many people do your dishes serve?
    Most of our dishes will serve two adults and two children, or three adults. If you have more mouths to feed, you can actually double our recipes and cook everything together in a normal full-sized oven.
  • Can I buy my own groceries?
    Absolutely. But we’re also happy to take that off your plate too.
