One pan meals make cooking and cleaning a little easier. With only one dish to check and attend to during cooking, you have a little more time to accomplish some tasks while dinner is cooking. This can be a great time to help your children with homework, catch up on household chores, pay the bills, or exercise while your dinner cooks. With only one roasting pan to clean, you’ll spend less time doing the dishes and have more quality time to spend with your family.
