Frequently asked questions
Do one-pot recipes work for meal prep?
Many reheat well. Save favorites and add them to your meal plan so Sous-Chef can schedule repeats and build a consolidated grocery list.
Are one-pot meals always quick?
Not always—some simmer for an hour—but active hands-on time is usually short. Check prep and cook times on each recipe before you start.
