One Pan and Sheet Pan
One pan, one dinner, almost no washing up. These recipes cook the protein and the sides together on a single sheet pan or skillet, so cleanup is the tray and a fork.
The recipes tell you exactly what goes in the pan first and when, because everything cooking together only works if the timing is right.

Who it is for
Anyone who would rather scrub one pan than a sink full. Also the easiest way to start cooking if you are new, since there is no juggling three burners.

Questions cooks actually ask
Do I need a specific sheet pan?
A standard half sheet pan, about 13 by 18 inches, is the workhorse. Crowding is the real enemy, so the recipes say when to use two pans instead of one.
Can I line the pan with foil or parchment?
Yes for easy cleanup, and parchment is the better choice for anything sugary or sauced. Either way the times stay the same.
