About Silver Cuisine Senior Meal Delivery Service
Silver Cuisine is a division of BistroMD , a long-time leader in the prepared meal, diet delivery business. We were excited to see they have adapted meal delivery service to the senior and elderly markets by allowing their clients to buy meals a la carte, instead of mandatory diet plans with automatic reorders.
The shipping box comfortably held 14 meals. For remote family caretakers, a senior would probably have no difficulty with its bulk or weight. An elderly loved one may find it a little difficult to manage.
The meals shipped perfectly, there were no broken seals or leaking trays. In our experience, BistroMD has the best design for their meal packaging. You can easily fit them into a freezer, and we love how they put the name of the meal on the side of the box.
Reheating may also be the best in the business. Any frozen prepared meal is best if you let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, and microwave it less, but these meals reheated very nicely from frozen. The microwave instructions were right on.
The meals fit multiple diet profiles so ordering for special diets is a snap.
The images the meals the company shows on the website are consistent with what we experienced in our order.
We did experience some excessive water in the trays, which dilutes sauces and flavor.
From a family caretaker point of view, you can see Silver Cuisine has a lot going for it. But just getting prepared food delivered isn’t a caretaker’s only issue. In most cases, we want our loved to enjoy the food they receive thoroughly, and that would be questionable with this senior meal delivery service. We found the portion sizes to be smaller and the mains tasted bland compared to other senior meal delivery options. We think Top Chef Meals would be a better option in the same price range, and Home Bistro to better if you are willing to pay a little more per meal.
