Cook It Canada Review: Discover if This is the Best Meal Kit for You

Serving prices range from $8 to $12 for the regular menu and $7 to $11 for the Vegetarian menu, but the price may fluctuate based on the number of servings ordered each week. Since less packaging and fewer shipping operations are required for larger orders, the price per serving drops.

Cook It meal plans

There are two types of Cook It subscription plans available: 

• Regular menu: includes premeasured ingredients for dishes that can be prepared in 20 to 35 minutes. Recipes include one brunch choice, selections that are ready-to-eat, as well as vegetarian recipes.
• Vegetarian menu: this is affordable yet provides fewer alternatives. In a typical week, you may receive five new recipes, one of which will be a ready-to-eat dish, and two others will be for breakfast or brunch.

A total of 14 weekly meal kits, all pre-portioned and prepped, are available to subscribers of each plan. You can choose from 2 to 7 meals per week, with 2 to 4 servings every meal.

Cook It Canada also offers pre-prepared meals. Roughly 6 pre-prepared meals are available every week. In contrast to ready-to-eat meals, which require no preparation beyond reheating, ready-to-cook meal kits include all of the raw components for cooking the meal at home.

Cook It shipping and delivery

Currently, Cook it Canada distributes to the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes in Eastern Canada for no extra fee.

Recipe cards with detailed instructions and all the necessary raw ingredients in measured amounts are included in the delivery boxes. Salt, pepper, milk, butter, oils, and vinegar are not part of the “cook it” package.

Cook It uses only recyclable packaging materials for the transportation and storage of its meals, ensuring that nothing is wasted. To maintain the quality and freshness of products, gel packs are often deployed, and once depleted, they can be used again. As an added bonus, their boxes are significantly more manageable in the recycling bin than those of their competitors.

These insulated containers with ice packs will keep your meats, seafood, and dairy goods at the ideal serving temperature. Consequently, the food won’t go bad for a while if you aren’t home when it’s delivered. Your driver will hand over your package to you at the front door.

You have the ability to select the delivery time that works best for you. Location-specific delivery window selections are available.

Dietary options on Cook It

Cook It’s rotating menu allows consumers to taste new foods and flavours each week. Each menu item includes the preparation time needed. Cook It categorizes its weekly meal selections for simpler browsing. 

“Vegetarian” is for meat-free options, “Balanced” is best if you want more than 20 grams of protein, fewer than 15 grams of saturated fat, and less than 100 grams of carbohydrates, and “Speedy” is a good choice for meals ready in 20 minutes. Cook It is also perfect for health-conscious vegans and those who avoid gluten.

The Cook It cooking process

Cook It meal kits are delivered via a subscription service and include all the ingredients and instructions needed to make chef-created meals at home. On the day you specify, a box containing your chosen meals will be delivered to your doorstep. The ingredients in the box have all been measured out for you.

Cook It provides recipe cards with each meal kit order to help you prepare the meals you select. Keep the card where you can see it, upright if possible, so that you can read it even if you can’t hold it.

Our Cook It experience

We tried the chicken taco bowl from Cook It for a family dinner. It takes only 30 minutes to prepare, and the result is a delicious, enjoyable lunch.

Cook It supplies nearly everything you’ll need to make a meal, from the vegetables to the chicken to the tortillas to the spices. The orzo in this meal is cooked first. When that’s in the oven, you can chop the tortillas, onions, tomatoes, and radishes. The tortillas are fried, the chicken and onions are cooked, and the meat is seasoned; at this point, the dish is ready to be served.

What makes Cook It unique?

If in the past, the lack of adequate vegetarian and vegan alternatives or the wasteful packaging used has prevented you from trying meal kits, Cook It changes the game.

Tofu, seitan, lentils, and other legumes can be used as protein sources in many of the recipes in Cook It. They don’t mark the weeks where there are only vegan dishes, but you can view the ingredient lists for each dish by clicking on them.

If you are on a strict vegan diet, you can still enjoy many of your favourite dishes by simply substituting vegan mayonnaise or sour cream. There are days when cheese is all we eat, but overall, you would appreciate Cook It’s diet variety.
