one-pot
All together cooking
One-pot describes a cooking method where all ingredients go into a single vessel: one-pot pasta, one-pot chicken and rice.
The appeal is minimal cleanup and consolidated flavor.
The term extends to chemistry, where a one-pot synthesis completes multiple reactions in sequence without isolating intermediates.
