Are there any meal kit providers that focus on reducing cooking time during the week?

Yes — several meal kit providers are designed specifically to cut down weeknight cooking time. They usually do this by offering:

• Pre-chopped or pre-portioned ingredients
• Recipes with 15–30 minute cook times
• Oven-ready or microwave-ready meals
• Partially prepared components like sauces, marinades, or cooked grains

A few examples:

• HelloFresh Quick & Easy – shorter recipes, often around 20–30 minutes.
• Blue Apron Fast & Easy – meals meant to be ready quickly with less prep.
• Home Chef Express – includes meals designed for speed and simplicity.
• Sunbasket Fresh & Ready – mostly heat-and-eat options, very low prep.
• Gobble – known for very fast cooking, often about 15 minutes because ingredients are pre-prepped.
• EveryPlate Quick meals – budget-friendly and sometimes faster than standard kits.

If your main goal is minimal weeknight effort, the fastest options are usually Gobble and heat-and-eat/oven-ready meal services like Sunbasket Fresh & Ready or similar ready-made offerings from other brands.

If you want, I can also compare these by price, cook time, and how much actual prep is left.
