The amount of time women spend doing core housework, such as cleaning, laundry and meal preparation, has decreased over the past 20 years, from 2.7 to 2.5 hours a day. This decrease is caused by the increase in time women spend at paid labor.
The proliferation of restaurant-takeout options has given busy people an alternative to spending hours in the kitchen every night, but takeout food is generally not as healthy as the home-cooked alternative. For those who want to be able to cook dinners at home but are pressed for time, meal-preparation stores offer a reasonable compromise.
The food is not assembled at home, or even by the customer in some cases, but it is cooked at home. Meal-preparation stores provide the ingredients and equipment. Customers follow the recipes provided and assemble, but do not cook, a set number of entrees in one session. These entrees are frozen and cooked when needed. This method makes creating home-cooked dinners significantly quicker than traditional methods. A customer can assemble six dinners in one hour at a facility like this. Other meal-preparation stores also sell pre-assembled entrees that can be picked up by the customers.
SupperWorks is a meal-preparation store that allows customers to create home-cooked dinners quickly and easily. For more information or to find the nearest Ontario SupperWorks, call (905) 849-1550 or send an email to info@supperworks.com.
