Our products on our a la carte menu can be ordered in bundles that come with particular products enclosed. But for those that wish individual items, either main courses or side dishes, the a la carte menu is fully flexible and you order exactly what you want, including soups, breads and desserts.
The meal bundles are designed as quick to order packages for yourself, family or friends.

Shipping
If someone lives there-we deliver there. Delivery anywhere in the Continental US!
Our fulfillment is done from our Kansas City, KS location. We do not store product for retail sale at our office location.
We do our food storage and customer shipping from a centrally located warehouse in the Kansas City, KS. area. From this location we can ship anywhere in the country by UPS Ground delivery services. This keeps our delivery costs as reasonable as possible to ship to all parts of the United States. MagicKitchen.com rates vary based on the distance shipped from our warehouse, service selected, and the weight of the products being shipped.
MagicKitchen.com only charges you, the customer, what we are charged by UPS. You pay the net UPS cost not UPS list prices! To ensure that your order arrives in excellent condition. MagicKitchen.com (MKMeals) uses a special polystyrene, called EVRgreen, to make its coolers for shipping meals. This special resin is bio-degradable in landfills, while regular polystyrene coolers are not. MagicKitchen.com has always encouraged recycling of the coolers to minimize waste and this new option works well for customers that cannot get to a recycling site for recycling their coolers. For more information, please go to EVRgreen We also use dry ice as well as other packing materials. Given this method of delivery, the total cost of small orders will seem high given the inherit components of getting the meals to you in excellent condition.
When a package is delivered the receiver will receive an email advising the package is delivered.

All the coolers and boxes are fully recyclable and we encourage everyone to recycle these items. Additionally, UPS will accept them at some of their mailing stores.
Currently we do not ship to Canada. Due to complex federal Agriculture Canada regulations we have not focused on expanding into Canada. We may at some point but no plans are in the works at this time.
We ship to all states in the continental US (Lower 48 states only).

Our products can stay in the freezer for 6 months or more from when you get them but we suggest that they be eaten within 30 to 45 days to ensure you do not lose any flavor or food value from the product being in a frozen state.

To dispose of dry ice, place it in a well-ventilated area or outside; the remainder of the ice will sublimate away. Never dispose of dry ice in a trash can, chemical waste container or other garbage/waste can.

items that require cooking in the oven are our
chicken pot pie, our u-bake-strudel and some
chicken dishes. We also have sous vide dishes
which need to be boiled in the bag on the
stovetop, and others which need to be reheated
on the stove. Look for this icon for

Our program is somewhat different in that our meals are hand prepared by professional chefs, then flash frozen and packaged for shipment to you. You will find our prices similar to those companies, but our meals are fully prepared and cooked and packaged for reheating either via stovetop, oven or microwave.
Since the packaging we use goes from the freezer to the oven and microwave and is also recyclable, there is less cooking as well as less clean up with our meals, which means less time and cost for cooking, clean up and washing of pots and pans. Also this means more time for you and/or with your family. Since MagicKitchen.com does not have storefronts, we try to provide hormone free meats and organic vegetables for the same prices. You could say we are the Amazon.com of the restaurant business!!!!
We take orders centrally for our toll free callers as well as for our online business. At this time we are not considering retail locations under our own brand but we do offer products under other company's labels on a retail basis.
We also have a lot of information about diabetic health.
On each product there will be a full set of
information on the product such as
ingredients, cooking instructions and
nutritional information. Here is a
nutritional panel with the servings per
container circled. This is where to find the
information.
