What Is What A Crock
What A Crock is a meal kit delivery service that specializes in slow-cooker-ready meals. It lets you choose the ordering method that works for you and provides everything you need to prepare your meals with minimum effort, hands-on time, and cleanup.
Particularly designed for fans of slow and easy cooking, this service acts as your grocery shopper, meal planner, and sous chef and makes it possible for you to spend minutes in the kitchen with delicious results. Its impressive offer includes everything from satisfying entrées to comforting soups and scrumptious desserts that you can just pop into your slow cooker or freezer.
In addition to doing virtually all the work for you, What A Crock also provides incredible flexibility. It allows you to decide how often you want to order, how many meal kits you want to get in your deliveries, and how many people you want to cook for. While it is a great fit for couples and families, it is designed with singles in mind as well, unlike most other services of its kind. Plus, it offers options for a rather vast range of special diets, thus satisfying the needs of home cooks with various dietary restrictions and preferences.
We would further like to emphasize that What A Crock is currently one of the cheapest meal kit services on the US market. Thus, this meal kit service does not only offer amazing menu variety, ordering flexibility, and convenience but also provides great value for your money.
How Does What A Crock Work
With What A Crock, you can cook for 1-6 people and order 1-4 meals per week with the 3 pre-defined meal plans, create a custom subscription with the Build A Box plan or order as many meals as you need as often as you wish with the single-order option.
The meals are prepared using fresh, natural ingredients, trimmed, chopped, and browned by pro chefs and frozen fresh to preserve the flavors and nutrients. All the meals you receive are ready to go into the slow cooker so the effort you have to invest into making your meals is the same as in the case of frozen dinners, just with better, more delicious results.
The company’s meals can be delivered to your home or you can pick them up yourself in one of the company’s stores if you happen to live nearby. Regardless of which ordering option you choose, you get to enjoy great flexibility. You can change your meal plan, skip a delivery or end your subscription whenever you wish.

What A Crock Meals And Recipes
In this section of our What A Crock review, we will offer a more detailed view of the meal plans and the company’s menu, so you could get a better sense of what is waiting for you in the What A Crock kitchen. Let us start with the plans.
The 4 meal plans at your disposal differ in the number of servings per meal and the number of meals per week. The 1-Person plan allows you to receive 3 or 4 single-serving meals per week. The 2-3-People plan allows you to receive 2, 3 or 4 meals per week for 2 hungry people or 3 people with average appetites. The 4-6-People plan is designed for families and people who love throwing dinner parties. It brings you 1, 2, 3 or 4 meals per week with 4-6 servings per meal, depending on the appetite. The Build A Box plan lets you decide on everything from the number of portions you want to receive (6-30) to the selection of meals in your order and the frequency of your deliveries.
Although the plans are referred to as weekly plans, they are not shipped weekly. With the 1-Person plan, the 2-3-Person plan including 2 or 3 meals per week, and the 4-6 Person plan including 1 meal per week, you get deliveries on a monthly basis. If you order 4 meals per week with the 2-3-Person plan or 2, 3 or 4 meals per week with the 4-6-Person plan, your orders are shipped bi-weekly. With the Build A Box, you can receive deliveries weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly.
If you opt for a one-off order, you have the whole menu at your disposal and you can decide which meals you want to cook and order as many portions of the same dish as you want. If you are not sure how many portions you need, the company offers a handy portions chart that allows you to easily figure out how many people you can feed with 1-4 portions of its meals.
When purchasing individual meals, you can take a look at the full menu or browse by categories. The categories include beef, chicken, pork, seafood, vegetarian and vegan, low-carb, lean eating, and gluten-free meals, as well as soups and sides, dips, desserts, and meals that are on sale. There are dozens upon dozens of meals at your disposal, so you can easily find something you want to try.
The company also offers particularly affordable weekly meal bundles, which include 5 dinners and an appetizer. You can order for 1-6 people. There are as many as 13 bundles at your disposal, designed with different special dietary needs, tastes, and occasions in mind.
We would like to emphasize that the menus differ depending on whether you are ordering online and having the meals shipped to you or you are picking up the meals at a store. At all times, you can view both the shipping menu and the selection meals available at each of the company’s stores.
