The Complete One Pot: 400 Meals for Your Skillet, Sheet Pan, Instant Pot®, Dutch Oven, and More (The Complete ATK Cookbook Series)

America's Test Kitchen cookbooks are usually fantastic and this one is no exception. I love that there is a narrative before each recipe explaining how the test kitchen chose that version of the recipe as their favorite and what they tried. I've found that sometimes my tastes and those of the test kitchen employees aren't the same, and the narrative makes it easy to figure out how to modify the recipe to my family's tastes. This cookbook includes recipes to be made in a single pot, Dutch oven, or sheet pan. Some of the recipes are quick and easy, others are more complicated and time-consuming. But they are, by and large, delicious.

I love the America's Test Kitchen cookbooks and own most of them. I love that their recipes are reliable and delicious. I love this particular cookbook as well. Chapters are: Soups; Stews and Chilis; Chicken; Beef; Pork and Lamb: Seafood: Vegetarian: Pasta and Noodles; and Desserts. All recipes are for sheet pans, dutch ovens, sauce pans; slow cookers and Instant Pots. Some recipes have instructions to cook in 3 different ways, so you can make it in whichever way is easiest for you. Chapters also include "on the side" recipes for side dishes, like rice, cauliflower rice, basil pesto, garlic toast, mashed potatoes and sauteed summer squash to name a few. So far I have made Corned Beef and Cabbage in the slow cooker. The cabbage fits into the slow cooker with the corned beef, so you don't need to make it separately as you do in most recipes, plus the prep was super easy. It was very good. I also made the Easy Tortellini Minestrone in the dutch oven, which was both easy and delicious. I recommend this cookbook.

I first saw this cookbook at my son's house. He was a fan and said he had two copies, one that was worn out from overuse causing it to fall apart. He liked it so much he bought another copy. I saw a few recipes that looked appealing to me, in addition to the dinner cooked by my son. I have used this cookbook for several different recipes and have been happy with the ease of following the instructions. I like that there are options for cooking for one or two servings vs. cooking for a family.

The recipes are reliable and pictures are great. The cookbook is organized by chapters on types of food, like most cookbooks, so you need to browse through several chapters to find dishes that cook in whatever type of pot you were hoping to use. There are recipes for Instant pot, Dutch oven, slow cooker, skillet, sheet pan or roasting pan, and even a few recipes for casserole dish, sauce pan or loaf pan. Hardly any of the recipes are given for more than one type of pot. You might find a recipe that you want to try and maybe do not have the Dutch oven or slow cooker or Instant Pot. Some of the recipes do include a Variation for a different type of pot but most do not. There are 400 meals, so even if some are unusable it is still full of interesting recipes. Overall, good but not for meal planning in a hurry. You need to spend some time reading this one.

Not only is it divided by food types, each section is subdivided by your choice of cookware! Professional grade images and very well written ingredients and instructions. But then, it's written by America's Test Kitchen. What's not to like! If you enjoy cooking in cast iron, BUY THIS BOOK!

I purchased this for my new daughter in law for Christmas! Of course I reviewed some of the recipes and found that I may purchase this for myself!

Very well put together. Easy to follow and understand. Highly recommend

This book comes with lots of color photos of how your meal "should" turn out, which is a plus. The recipes are very diverse. So far, I've made the "Beef en Cocotte with Creamy Mushroom Barley," "Smothered Pork Chops with Broccoli," and "Turkey Meatballs with Coconut Rice, Bell Peppers and Peas," (which is my current favorite.) You'll probably have to go to the store to get some of the ingredients, which might not be kitchen staples, but make the recipes interesting. You may even have to ask your butcher for specific cuts of meat. Since Covid, meat has been difficult to shop for. I find myself walking directly to the meat department first to see if they even have what a recipe is calling for before I shop for anything else. My husband and I have been married for 21 years, so it's fun to try these new recipes. Plus, there are cutting, storing and purchasing tips throughout. Great book! You'll love it.

I now have two of The America's Test Kitchen Cookbooks and this is a fantastic addition to my collection (Baking Illustrated) They really teach you to be a better cook or baker, by explaining why their recipes work. Their exhaustive testing of the recipes to get them "just right" ensures that your efforts will be rewarded with perfect dishes every time.The array of recipes in this book, make it so valuable for everyday meals or special occasions. If you are tired of being in a rut of cooking the same meals over and over this will give you and your family a welcome change. Get this book - you won't regret it!

I like everything I’ve tried so far. Yum!

Yummy
