[ad_1] Recent subscriber data explains just why Blue Apron is exploring mergers and sales. The company’s customers dropped from about 557,000 at the end of 2018 to 351,000 a year later — that’s a drop of nearly 37 percent in the space of a year. Orders dropped by nearly a third, too. And while Blue […]

Traeger’s Ironwood smart grills now ship with a handy pellet supply sensor
[ad_1] When Traeger announced its 2019 lineup, it included its so-called WiFire wireless connectivity on every model. However, the sensor that monitored your pellet supply so you didn’t have to worry about running out was reserved for the priciest grills: the Timberline 850 and Timberline 1300. As I’d discover in November, the more affordable Ironwood […]
The Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid works as promised, but only for small batches
[ad_1] Thrilled, I ordered it from Amazon. It arrived a few days later in a fairly large box, almost the size of the Instant Pot itself. Indeed, the Air Fryer Lid is not insignificant in size, measuring 13.8 by 13.7 by 12.8 inches. It weighs in at 11.7 pounds, which is not exactly feather-light, but […]
Ford thinks the Mustang Mach-E’s frunk is a good tailgate cooler
[ad_1] This likely won’t lead to a significant uptick in reservations ahead of the Mach-E’s late 2020 debut. First… ew. And if that isn’t a factor, there’s a good possibility that you have better (or at least, more sanitary) ways to use 4.8 cubic feet of free space. This does highlight the practicality of frunks […]
Instacart employees in Chicago are the first to unionize in the US
[ad_1] In a statement, Instacart said it “will honor” the unionization vote pending certification of the results, and that it intended to negotiate in “good faith” on a collective bargaining agreement. The company added that it “respect[s] our employees’ rights to explore unionization.” That last claim doesn’t appear to be true based on evidence, however. […]
Dehydrated food goes from hiking to haute cuisine
[ad_1] After we finished hacking up herbs, I went on my merry way. I’d bought a Nesco dehydrator (at only 1/5 of the cost of a restaurant-quality device), and it was all pristine and white at home, just waiting for me to mess it up. Whereas Price’s looked like a run-of-the-mill wine fridge, mine resembled […]
Ben & Jerry’s made a binge-worthy Netflix and Chill’d ice cream flavor
[ad_1] With official support from Netflix, Ben & Jerry’s has announced a new flavor called Netflix and Chill’d. The ice cream is about as about decadent as you expect. It’s made with peanut butter, salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownie chunks. The lid displays the company’s logo and declares that you’re about to eat “A […]
Nestlé adds sausages to its range of plant-based meats
[ad_1] Meanwhile, Europeans are getting a soy-based sausage in Bratwurst and Chorizo variants. While soy is its main ingredient, it also uses beetroot, carrots, peppers and rapeseed and coconut oils. It will be released as part of the “Incredible” meat alternative lineup under the company’s Garden Gourmet brand and will be available for purchase in […]
Instacart pickups now include alcohol and let stores know you’re nearby

And to round out the new additions, Instacart now offers alcohol pickup […]
