  3. One pan

One-pan and one-pot meals for busy weeknights

One pan means one thing to wash and fewer steps to juggle: a skillet of chicken and vegetables, a pot of stew, a tray bake. These recipes tell you when to lift out a plain portion before the sauce or spice goes in.

What Gluten watches for: stock cubes and sauces with hidden gluten or dairy, and when to take out a plain portion.

Cooking for more than one diet?

Add everyone you cook for, with their allergies, diets and ages. Gluten checks every recipe for each of them and tells you what to change for anyone who can’t eat it as written. It’s free.

One pan cooking questions

What’s the difference between one-pan and one-pot?

Not much: both cook the whole dinner in one vessel. One-pan usually means a skillet or a tray, one-pot a saucepan or a Dutch oven.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
