First Delivery :/

Signed up out of curiosity after seeing a discount + credit. First delivery arrived with a corner of the box collapsed and food at 70°+ while about 82°F ambient - ice packs were liquid.
Definitely not risking it for the biscuit, or in this case turkey.

Support made it right by offering a full credit, but the boxes are definitely too thin, the ‘insulation’ is a foam liner at best, and the ice packs are insufficient. Food safety definitely calls for using dry ice, especially in a southern summer.

Edit: it’s also sad throwing that much food away

No flour?

Is Homechef no longer including flour when it’s an ingredient?

Previously if a sauce needed a pinch of flour or you patted the meat down with flour the flour was included. However the past two weeks flour is mentioned as a step in the recipe, but it isn’t included on the ingredients list or in the kit.

I‘ve used home chef on and off for almost a decade and this is first time I’ve noticed something besides salt and pepper not being included

Is anyone else noticing this? Are there any other ingredients that I need to make sure to have stocked?

**edited for update**

Based on some folks advice I did contact HC and let them know. They offered a $15 credit but didn’t really speak towards if this is a new policy or not. But at least it’s something.

Thanks everyone for the sanity check! Take care and happy cooking!

Vegetarian options?

Hello, I am considering switching to Home Chef as hellofresh has expended the last of my patience with their use of AI and their declining ingredient quality. My girlfriend and I prefer to order vegetarian dinners as she doesn’t eat meat, how are the veggie options through home chef? I would like to know before giving them my payment information as I can’t see the options until I pay for my first box. Thanks!

Homechef on Porch

Homechef was delivered earlier than normal and I’m not home to get it for about 3-4 hours after delivery on an 80° day, should I be concerned about the food being bad?

Classic French Omelette.

I tried my hand at a French Omelette today! 🍳 It’s definitely a work in progress, but the texture was so creamy. The inside was also a bit runny. I’m still working on perfecting the fold and keeping the heat low enough to avoid any color. Does anyone have a favorite 'hack' for getting that perfectly smooth, pale yellow finish? Would love some tips from the pros here!
