About Home Bistro Prepared Meals
We believe Home Bistro has the best gourmet menu caretakers may wish to consider if they want to add higher quality meals to their loved one’s meal plan. “Gourmet” means the meal is created with high-quality ingredients, prepared using an advanced technique, or prepared with a high level of skill. All three describe the senior meals you would get from Home Bistro.
However, these meals will be on the higher-priced side of any family caretaker’s budget. Currently, the least expensive chicken breast dinner is $15, and meals max out at $25. Value is defined as what you get for your money. We see the value in paying more for getting more and especially with the larger serving sizes, this company provides. Of course, what everyone can spend is a personal decision based on your budgetary requirements.
Home Bistro is an online delivery service that ships restaurant-quality frozen meals throughout the U.S. Most of these frozen meals are easily reheated using the microwave or stovetop. The reheating instructions can be easily found on all the packages. The prepared meals for seniors come precooked in individually packaged bags because of their unique cooking method. They can be reheated without having to defrost them ahead of time.
These meals are cooked sous vide, meaning they have been slow-cooked for long periods, in low-heat water in vacuum-sealed bags. This French technique of cooking is known to bring flavors together in an amazing way.
The company sorts their meals by several nutritional profiles, including Healthy Gourmet, Heart Healthy, Diabetic Friendly, Vegetarian, Lower Sodium, Gluten-Free, Paleo, and Low Carb.
These nutritional profiles would make it easy for any family caretaker to order meals for their loved ones without having to lookup nutritional labels. Consumers have the choice of buying a la carte or trying meals plans.
- Overall, the menu is smaller than other senior meal delivery services, but the food quality is consistently the best value you can find, and there are no required weekly meal plans or long-term commitments.
- $100 Satisfaction Guarantee – The company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee which reads as follows: “We stand behind all of our products. If you are not satisfied with any of our food items, we will replace it or refund your money.”
- Reheating – We love that these prepared meals come in sous-vide bags, which can easily be used in the microwave. We have found that reheating these meals in warm water yields the best results, and makes it much easier to reheat more than one meal at a time.
- Gift Certificates – Gift certificates are available, which is a great option for treating loved ones to the great taste and convenience of senior meals. This way, they can select the meals they prefer. Gift certificates are redeemable online, with additional shipping costs added. And, they never expire
