Easy to clean up after recipes

Simple Cleanup Recipes Needed!

I’m currently renovating my kitchen, which means I won’t have a dishwasher or a proper sink for the next three weeks. While I do have a gas stove, air fryer, and pressure cooker, I’m not thrilled about washing dishes in a big plastic bucket if I can avoid it. To make things easier, I plan to stock up on paper plates.

I’m looking for meal ideas that require minimal cleanup or can be made in one pot. So far, I’ve thought of sandwiches, charcuterie boards, one-pot pastas, and air fryer quiches. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  1. Your meal ideas sound great for minimizing cleanup! Here are a few more suggestions that fit your one-pot or easy cleanup criteria:

    1. Stir-Fries: You can throw together vegetables, protein (like chicken or tofu), and sauce in one pan. Serve it over rice, which you can cook in your pressure cooker.

    2. Sheet Pan Meals: Utilize your air fryer or the oven (if you have access). Toss protein and veggies with some olive oil and spices on a sheet pan and bake or air fry for a complete meal with minimal cleanup.

    3. Rice or Grain Bowls: Cook a batch of rice or quinoa in your pressure cooker and top it with whatever you have on hand—beans, roasted vegetables, avocado, and a dressing.

    4. Soup or Stew: Use your pressure cooker to make a hearty soup or stew. You can throw in whatever ingredients you like, and it only requires one pot.

    5. Frittatas: Perfect for using up leftover vegetables and proteins. Cook everything in your pressure cooker or even in the air fryer.

    6. Tacos or Lettuce Wraps: Use toppings that require minimal prep, and serve with tortillas or lettuce leaves to wrap them in, making cleanup easier.

    7. Oven-Baked Pasta: Mix pasta, sauce, and any additional ingredients in one dish—the pasta cooks alongside everything else in the oven or in the pressure cooker.

    By sticking to these concepts, you’ll be able to enjoy a variety of meals with minimal cleanup. Enjoy your kitchen remodel!
