The only one-pot cookbook you'll ever need! Simplify dinner and eat well with hundreds of meals that take full advantage of your favorite pans. Today's one-pot recipes are more varied than ever. From sheet-pan suppers to no-boil pastas, these flavorful recipes represent the test kitchen's best strategies for successful single-pan cooking, including staggering cooking times so everything finishes at once and developing an arsenal of no-cook sauces to dress up Instant Pot and slow cooker meals. ATK flips the lid on several one-pot cooking assumptions; first, that it's always slow. More than 130 of the 400+ recipes can be made in 45 minutes or less. Next, that the recipes serve an army: We paid attention to smaller family sizes by adding scaled-down recipes serving two throughout the book. And we made some of the all-time best recipes more flexible with choose-your-own pan options such as Classic Chicken Soup that can be made in a Dutch oven, slow cooker, or pressure cooker. Finally, we realized that decluttering dinner didn't stop with using just one pot but also meant limiting the number of bowls. Skip takeout with Sheet Pan Veggie Pizza. Make date-night Classic Arroz Con Pollo for Two in a saucepan. Cook for a crowd using a roasting-pan for Herbed Lamb Shoulder with Fingerling Potatoes and Asparagus. Set and forget Slow Cooker Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Raisin-Almond Couscous, or get dinner on the table fast using an Instant Pot to make Cod with Warm Tabbouleh Salad.
