Pack some serious gourmet into your next one-pot masterpiece and let the simplicity of single-dish cuisine open new culinary avenues, without the messy cleanup. Ever since the Middle Ages we've been doing it: bubbling, simmering and stewing away at a delicious hodgepodge of meats or fishes, onions and herbs, vegetables and more in a big, iron pot. Aromas fill the kitchen, rich flavors are incredibly melded together, and in the end, well... there's just one pot to clean.

With modern hectic lifestyles, one-pot meals have made a big comeback, and are (quite thankfully) here to stay. But just because we're trading away a sinkful of stacked dirty dishes for a single pot solution doesn't mean we chuck culinary creativity to the door, right? Right.
