one pot
Minimal dish cleanup
One pot describes a cooking method where all ingredients go into a single vessel—typically a pot, pan, or slow cooker—rather than requiring multiple dishes or steps: one-pot pasta, one-pot chicken and rice.
The appeal is convenience and easy cleanup.
Often hyphenated when used as an adjective: a one-pot meal.
