18. I think those meal kits are an excellent way to learn to cook.

Mostly, they are easy enough to be successful and everything you need is right there. Ingredients are measured and prepackaged, and most of the time the cutting and chopping is done for you so you have uniformity in the cook time. All those things can trip up a novice cook, and they are avoided with those meal kits.

A lot of times somebody might want to experiment with a new cuisine, a flavor, or a spice but they don't know if they will like--and maybe they don't especially want to have to buy an entire bottle or jar of something just to try it out. A meal kit takes care of that.

I have zero problem with the concept, but I agree with everyone here that talks about the expense. I wouldn't want to pay those prices long term. It is worth it, however, to have somebody else set you up to succeed if you are trying to learn.
