Is the Blue Apron Worth It?

Best for learning to cook. Blue Apron is the kit for people who want to become better cooks rather than just fed, and the food rewards the extra minutes. On a busy weeknight it is the one we skipped.

Blue Apron Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Recipes taught techniques — our cooks learned three new ones in two weeks
  • Interesting global menus; wine pairings
  • Prepared meals and market items on the same order
  • Good taste scores
Cons
  • Cook times ran 8 minutes over the card on average
  • Smaller menu than HelloFresh
  • Ownership changes and menu shifts in the last two years
