I got this box with a promo code I found in one of my mom's groups so only paid $3.99.
It arrived in a regular cardboard box that seems to have been sent by 2-day air.
Luckily I was home to get it given the instructions on the box. Typically though I wouldn't be and I don't know if I would want this type of packaging setting outside on a hot Florida day.
Inside was a recipe card, a bubble wrapped freezer bag with an ice pack and all our ingredients.
Okay the this type of service is not for an environmentalist. There is way too much plastic involved and I had to squeeze our mash potatoes out a of plastic sleeve.
Gobble claims a meal on the table in 15 minutes using only one pan. I timed my efforts and it took me 31 minutes total to complete the tasks.
We had the Beef Filet which came with baby carrots, snap peas, and garlic mash potatoes. I followed their cooking instructions with some hesitation. (Is my non-stick skillet oven safe? And wasn't there some rule that I wasn't supposed to put my cast iron skillet on my electric stovetop? Spoiler: I went with the cast iron and the stove seems no worse for the wear.) I used their instructions to for medium, but it came out a little underdone for my taste. So I put mine back in the oven after the meal started.
I forgot to take a picture of the final product because by then the husband was hungry and the baby was fussing. However, the taste was definitely on point. The food seemed fresh and the spice mix add the right amount of seasoning to the meat. The simplicity of the recipe choice though made me think I would be better off just buying these ingredients and cooking them on my own. Others on their site look a bit more complex so that might make it worth it.
