Tempo meals look like TV dinners, but they’ve never been frozen, thanks to advances in packaging technology.
The beef barbacoa and sous-vide chicken I tried actually retained moisture and tenderness.
Green beans were still vibrantly green, with a little bit of snap.
They’re cooked in a commissary kitchen, and shipped to your doorstep in special packaging that prevents spoilage without using a bunch of preservatives.
Heat-and-eat meals won’t ever be quite as good as freshly cooked meals, but especially when I reheated them in an air fryer they got closer than expected.
