Plated Review and get FREE Plates

I am not the best cook, and I have been wanting to find a great meal delivery subscription.  I saw an offer from Plated to try two free plates, so I signed up.  Plated is great, because you can signed up for a regular subscription, or you can just buy plates when you want.  You have to buy a minimum of four plates when you order, I chose the skillet lasagna with fall root vegetables.  I decided to get 4 plates of it, since I have a family of four.

The Details:

          No Membership:  Plates are $15.00 a plate (min 4).

The box was shipped by Fed Ex.  It arrived the very next day.  In the tracking email, Plated let me know I would need black pepper, kosher salt and olive oil.

The box was well packed and was very cold.

All the food was well packaged in this foil/insulated bag.

All the veggies were bagged and labeled in green fresh bags

I was really impressed that all my noodles were intact and not broken.

The carrots, cheese, tomatoes, seasoning, garlic onions and parsnips were in green bags too.  I received 2 packages like this, since I ordered 4 plates (1 bag was 2 plates)

Here is a better picture of everything in the skillet lasagna bags.

The ground beef was at the very bottom of the bag by the ice packs.  I am very cautious about my meet staying cold.  The meet was ice cold.

The ice packs in the bottom were still frozen

The recipe was very easy to follow and gave cooking tips on the front.

The recipe card listed full detailed instructions on the back.  The instructions were very clearly written and I didn't make any mistakes (Which is big for me)

Plated has partnered with Oxo and have four vegetarian recipes available throughout the month of November

The meal was very easy to prepare.  The directions were easy to follow and there weren't any complicated steps.  I made 4 plates instead of 2, so I had to use bigger pans.

The directions called for an oven safe skillet, but I didn't have one.  I modified and this this pan worked okay.  I have never made lasagna, so I was happy that it resembled lasagna.

I really enjoyed this meal.  It was easy to make and it turned out nice.

Final Thought: I really like Plated.  It was affordable and the recipe was great.  The food arrived on time and all the food was very fresh and ripe.  The ice packs were still frozen when I opened the box.  The meat was ice cold.  I felt very confident that the food was safe for my family to eat.  The food quality was a big worry of mine, when I signed up for Plated.  I am so pleased with Plated, I am going to continue to get the subscription.  If you are interested in signing up for Plated, click HERE and you can get 2 plates FREE.
