Tesco did some research into the most common kitchen mishaps we home cooks are having.
According to the supermarket, almost half of the nation (49 percent) has experienced a major disaster in the kitchen.
Whoosh can combat several possible kitchen issues, including missing ingredients, spillages, and not having suitable food in/no time to go out and buy more.
Alessandra Bellini, Tesco Chief Customer Officer said: “Whether it’s a special date night or a cosy evening in front of the telly, mealtime moments are an important part of our day.
“Though kitchen calamities can be dramatic, the research reveals that most mishaps are down to us simply not having what we need, when we need it – whether that’s a vital ingredient for a recipe, or a quick meal option when time, energy and enthusiasm are lacking.
“We want to help the nation avoid disappointing dinners and lacklustre lunches. Whatever they need, Whoosh can deliver in as little as 30 minutes.”
