A Week On Hello Fresh DAY 7

[@samjtt9267]

Maybe don't cook everything on the hob on the highest flame then it won't burn 😅

[@TianaSidhe]

I would love to see you do a Week On recap, where you revisit past weeks and do meals that you either loved or hated. See if your opinion of them has changed in the interim time.

[@hgrazza3579]

Top tip to stop your burgers shrinking, put a deep thumb print in the middle of each burger before cooking.

[@sue15cat]

Perhaps one of your easier weeks ... the food was delivered to your door, it was already portioned out and Grace did virtually all the preparation and cooking. 😂

[@argoth83]

We stopped HelloFresh quite some time ago due to failed/stolen deliveries (not their fault), but man, we still use a LOT of the recipes. They've got some really lovely meals, and you can even look them up online if you need to. Fantastic meal company.

[@RevGear99]

Disappointed you didn't make more reference to the cost, something which normally do on other 'week ons'. You vaguely mentioned it and talked about the fact you got a discount code on your first orders, but how would it actually stack up without the promo offers?

[@404UsernameNotFound]

Last time I used it it costs around £4-6 per person, per meal (more if you get the premium extra charge ones). And the price/amount of ingredients (depending on what you select) you get for that cost is probably around £3-5 if you were to get it from the shops yourself. Paying full price for these boxes is really paying for the convenience. There are cheaper meal plan boxes about too but again same thing with paying for the convenience.

[@rachelspenser3031]

Now show us the washing up and the leftover plastic lol

[@dracofirex]

Hi Mike, I have a cookbook from 1921 that does all vegetarian recipes. It has a menu example for one week of meals on this particular plan (based on Graham and his insistence on good digestion). If you want to give it a go, I can send the menu and all relevant recipes.

[@M0ike]

I would never say corn was buttery without the butter lol.

[@afterdinnercreations936]

i recommend a basting-brush

[@janeporter3600]

Seems like you had a better experience than most with Hello fresh for the simple fact you got sent all the ingredients 🤣

[@ellem2293]

Yes I have read reviews, so many complaints, so I wont be trying it.

[@janeporter3600]

@TJ91 I used to order from them for almost a year quite a few years back, and I only ever missed a couple of items- one was hilarious though because they sent me the packet of the item only the packet was empty 😂😂 I’m just saying this based off their Twitter which seems to just be constant replies to people complaining about missing items 🤣 maybe the company is just having a blip in recent times though and they’ll sort it out!

[@hannayoung9657]

I just feel they dont chop stuff enough or fine enough.

[@danscott8965]

9:37 it's Boris and Rishi 😂

[@Bessie66]

Mike - what was the total cost of a week on “hello fresh”? Many thanks

[@ollieb9875]

We used to have this and it works out about £30 for 3 meals for two, (6 portions). Some stuff is a little bit more like tiger prawns or other specials add a couple of quid.

[@davidsworld5837]

you are looking at £10 a meal for two a day. so really poor value if you really look at the whole week what he got in the bags. how small the amounts you get. many small portions in plastic bags with sauces. All these meals you could do for a fraction of the cost. all you get is the cooking card. and after spending £70 a week you need to spend money on breakfast and dinner so spending a massive amount of money being spend as well as a massive amount of cooking time and cost.

[@jpgoat5488]

That's why it says 1cm thick!

[@AndRewUK24]

Funny enough I've got a hellofresh advert before this video. 😀

[@thejunkman]

How much did all this cost. Looks expensive.

[@justinroelofs5057]

We use hello fresh for a long time now (at least 5 years) we normally do it one's per month 3/4 meals when there is a deal/sale. We make sure to choose dishes that we never tried or dishes we almost never make. Hello fresh has some simpler dishes on there menu like pizza, or taco's. We try to avoid those, because you can make dishes like that yourself without hello fresh.

[@thejunkman]

How much does this cost? Seems expensive.

[@alfje5492]

@@thejunkman £30 for 3 meals for two, (i.e. 6 portions), so that's £5 per portion, so yes, quite expensive.

[@thejunkman]

@@alfje5492 Yes and no. For an occasional "treat" or experience it is reasonable to justify, but to replace traditional grocery shopping (stocking up/buying bulk) for everyday food. Yes very expensive. Not being familiar with how it all works I don't want to criticize too much as I am uninformed.

[@KyleRDent]

Mike, we're begging you to invest in one of those washable liners for oven trays. You'll never destroy a chip again.

[@skindreads]

Or baking paper

[@Deadxman616]

The breadcrumbs acts as a binding agent that keeps the burger from breaking up too easily. If you ever do the corn again heat up the oil to let the garlic and spices infuse into it then roll the cobs in the mixture (it covers it better and less messy). But defiantly grill it. The charred kernels adds even more flavor

[@PhoenixHealing]

This was a nice week on, thanks Mike 😊

[@alexsmith7354]

Hey Mike. Could you do a week on the New Asda just essentials range?

[@Scot-land]

Got my first box coming next week looking forward to it

[@GTanny]

I tried Hello Fresh but ended up swapping to Gousto as Hello Fresh are very good at sending discount offers for new subscribers but nothing for regular customers, I had a lot of issues with damaged items with delivery too, Gousto recipe cards are a bit nicer too and they offer a free binder for them.

[@IronBahamut]

Yeah having tried both services I found Gousto tend to be slightly better and their recipe cards are better. Although honestly a service I preferred was called Simply Cook. They only provide the sauces/powders so you need to buy the ingredients but it allows you to set your own portion sizes and substitute stuff you don't like.

[@MattMcQueen1]

You should do a week on Mindful Chef, and compare the quality of ingredients (and price).

[@janeporter3600]

I was about to make this exact comment !

[@JonathanRodd]

it would have been a lot less messy to apply that paprika oil with a brush :P

[@cathydavis7041]

When you shape your burgers, make them shaped like a bowl... that way they won't puff up

[@DaRealSlimDavie]

I’m glad you did a week on hello fresh. You should do gusto & any other recipe subscriptions too, tell us what one you prefer.

[@chevron-vw5rn]

you should have substituted the parsley for basil:P

[@wesleydavenport6659]

Obscenely random question but where can I buy a cutting board just like yours? My wife and I watch your videos all the time and thought I'd surprise her with that.

[@EsMenca]

wasnt a real week on imo but was still nice getting something :) you have inspired me to do a week ons myself. i was gonna film them but as a wage slave i dont have the energy. i did save me a bunch of money though as i did limitef budget ones

[@vjpearce]

Do a week on Too Good To Go. I only downloaded the app within the last few weeks, and I am thoroughly impressed. Not only can you get good food really cheaply, but it's also a mystery what you're gonna get. And it lets you find out about places you might not even know about.

[@stacys2981]

Hello from Florida! Typical American food! I live in Florida. Typical foods here. Tasty but high calorie. I agree, corn doesn’t need butter. I would have used an Airfryer for a lot of what you made in your oven.

[@Emmac1298]

Can you do a week on the new Asda essentials range? Would love to know if it’s worth it!

[@Yorokobi224]

@9:20 the flame's too high 🤣🤣

[@WeAreThePeople1690]

Surely once you have tried all of their range and have all the recipe cards, you could just pick what you want to eat and just shop for what you need. A slight flaw in their plan 🤣

[@ollieb9875]

Yeah, they're always adding new and changing stuff around and have specials worth to try but the everyday favourites you could. Thing is, for me anyway just taking the decision making of what to eat is worth it, not to mention the actual shopping.😂

[@hgrazza3579]

I have 4 binders full of Gousto meals after using them weekly for three years. I thin I've only ever had a couple of meals twice, other than that, it's different meals every week.

[@mishaslilbae828]

All their recipes are free online so you don't even have to try it

[@danxepha4535]

Doh! If you'd have made the burger patties 1cm thick they would have shrunk and thickened to an appropriate shape instead of the meatballs you ended up with! Also the chili jam is mostly sugar which is why it burned so quickly.

[@tfh85]

Mike saying 'I dunno why you've tuned in to Day 7'. WELL... KZbin keeps recommending 'Day 7' of any of your series I've not seen yet (I've not watched the Caveman diet yet, and that has Day 7 popping up every time). Probably isn't good for clickthrough honestly. Anyone new seeing that might not bother... #JustKZbinThings

[@spiderlily723]

A good point you make is that for a supposed service of convinience, they sure only took out the SHORTEST and EASIEST step of food-making, which is 'buy stuff'. EDIT: And I just realized, you loose out on so much? Normal groceries would cost you a bit more, but if you nedded mayo - you'd have a jar. If you needed spice, you'd have it for later. This is a just a single meal that means if you do like it then you have to buy all the stuff AGAIN. And the meat proportions give a real concern for quality of the produce...

Can you please do a week on ‘What’s for Tea’ please. She is a Scottish lady who cooks dinners on her KZbin channel.

[@davidsworld5837]

I have watched all 7 days, one after the other. I do feel that you have to be very very lazy to get these and spend on one meal for two people at £10. which is £70 a week. and looking at what comes looks so little and many very low value items. the corn is £1.25 Asda. but you could use a tin of corn for 45p and just mix the coating on that. the mince may be 100g a 500g in aldi is under £2. most of this does seem pointless, little plastic portions (not good for the environment) just because people can not measure out a tea spoon of an item. the burger should have been pushed down more to make them big enough to fit the bun. I bet I could make that for more like £4 with out the silly added items.

[@ollieb9875]

Mike, i think you need to know that a tablespoon isn't the same as what you eat your cereal with. It's a spoon for the table. That is, you might use it to serve out spouts or potatoes from a larger bowl on the table. Tablespoon.

[@Sapphire_Jack]

I find your cooking style quite entertaining but really I just keep shouting turn the flippin' heat down, but you won't listen!! Look, I'll even give you another piece of advice, save up your KZbin pennies and buy yourself a Tefal Actifry. I've been cooking chips in mine for a few years now, it uses only a spoonful of oil, and the chips are magnificent. Nothing like your mangy chips in the oven!! What's the next week-on then? Looking forward to it, strangely enough. 🙂
