Best Meal Prep in Concord, NH: What to Look For Before You Order

Concord is not a big city, but the options for eating well on a busy week are thinner than they should be. Cook everything yourself, order takeout, or find a meal prep service.

If you are looking at that last one, here is what to actually check.

1. Fresh or frozen

Most national meal prep companies ship frozen. It is cheaper to make and cheaper to ship across the country.

Freezing changes food. Rice goes soft, sauces separate, vegetables lose their bite.

603 Meal Prep is cooked locally each week and never frozen. It arrives the way it left the kitchen.

2. Portion size

A lot of services look good on price until the container shows up and it is half the size you expected.

Every 603 meal is a 24oz portion. Several customers say one meal covers two sittings.

3. Portion against price

The real question is what you get for what you pay. A cheap meal that leaves you hungry costs you twice, because you eat again an hour later.

A week of 603 meals works out to less than a few takeout orders, and the per-meal cost drops as you size up. See the options on the menu.

4. Who is actually cooking

Most meal prep is made in a facility. Nobody is tasting anything.

603 Meal Prep is cooked by Chef Susan Chung, who has been cooking for over 20 years. You can read her story on the about page.

5. Do they deliver to you

Check the list, not the marketing.

603 delivers to Concord, Pembroke, Bow, Hopkinton, Loudon, Hooksett, Canterbury, Chichester, Allenstown, Boscawen, Epsom and Manchester.

6. Ingredients you can check

Quality proteins, hand-cut vegetables and scratch-made sauces. No seed oils and no cheap fillers. Traditional ingredients like sesame oil stay in, because that is what makes the food taste authentic.

7. Can you scale it up or down

One person eating lunches has different needs from a family of four.

603 runs plans from 5 meals up to 20, so you can size it to the week you are actually having. Start with the 5 meal plan or go bigger with the 15 meal plan.
