Tips for making a meal with one skillet

Each recipe is different, but here are a few tips on how to cook with just one skillet:

  • Choose your ingredients wisely and make sure they are compatible with one skillet cooking. Stick to proteins, vegetables, grains, and seasonings that cook quickly and at the same temperature.
  • Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding any ingredients.
  • Start by cooking more time-intensive ingredients first, such as proteins or root vegetables.
  • Use a little oil to help keep ingredients from sticking and to help them develop a nice color when cooking.
  • Add vegetables that are quick-cooking or already cooked and simply need to be warmed up.
  • Add a little liquid, such as broth, wine, or tomato sauce, to help the ingredients cook evenly and to add flavor. If there are some brown bit to the bottom of the skillet, that how you deglaze them, plus it adds flavor!
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary before serving. Serve hot and enjoy you one-skillet meal!
