Food prepared using the sous-vide method of cooking is always moist. The result is known to bring flavors together, similar to other slow cooking methods, such as a crock pot or slow roasting. The company has been selling their gourmet food to hotels, airlines, restaurants, and the military for almost twenty years.
Unlike most prepared meal companies, Cuisine Solutions only sells entrees. Their limited retail menu includes one seafood entree, three poultry entrees, and three meat entrees. According to their website, pasta, rice, vegetables, and sauces are coming soon. It appears the menu offered to retail customers is significantly larger than what is available for retail. The website does feature an online catalog which shows their entire menu.
Prices vary, but all entrees come in servings for two:
- Lamb Shank will cost $29.99
- Beef Wellington is $36.50
- Chicken Marsala is $20.85
None of the selections on their menu are under $20, or $10 per serving. Of course, you have to add your own side dish and vegetable to have a complete meal.
In our Cuisine Solutions review, we learned these entrees can be reheated on the stove, in warm water, in the microwave, and in a regular oven. The entree can be reheated from its frozen state or from thawed. Their products can be kept unopened in a refrigerator for up to six days.
There are some entrees that may fit into a nutritional profile for dieters and healthy eaters, but most of the meals we reviewed have high fat content and high sodium levels. For example:
- Chicken Florentine has 18 grams of fat and 1,310 of sodium
- Beef Short Ribs has 44 grams of fat and 1,500 mg of sodium
- The Tilapia entree has 3.5 grams of fat, but 670 mg of sodium
To see their shipping rates, you will first have to create an account. It appears there is a shipping fee of $7.95 for each entree you order. We could not find any mention of a customer satisfaction guarantee.
This may be an interesting company to watch down the road, and see if they can transform their restaurant supply success to the national retail consumer market. While they may have a long way to go in offering single servings of complete meals for consumers, their high quality gourmet food menu might become very similar to a restaurant dining experience.
