Weeknight Duo: 10" Fry Pan & All-in-One Pan

The Weeknight Duo keeps cleanup down to two pans: the 10" fry pan handles quick searing and smaller stir-fries, while the ceramic all-in-one pan covers dishes that benefit from more depth, like fried rice and chili. Here are four dinners that put the set to work.

Chicken Fajitas

Serves 4 · About 25 minutes

Ingredients: 500g chicken breast (sliced into strips), 2 bell peppers (sliced), 1 onion (sliced), 2 tbsp fajita seasoning (or chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder), 2 tbsp oil, 8 small tortillas, lime and cilantro to serve.

1. 10" fry pan: Heat oil, sear seasoned chicken strips over high heat until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes (internal temperature 74°C / 165°F). Sear in two batches if the strips look crowded, so they brown instead of steam. Remove and tent with foil.
2. Ceramic pan: Saute peppers and onions over medium-high until softened with some char, about 8 minutes.
3. Ceramic pan: Once cooked, reduce heat to low and add the chicken back in to keep everything warm together while the tortillas heat.
4. Serve in warmed tortillas with lime and cilantro.

Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Serves 4 · About 25 minutes

Ingredients: 450g flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain), 3 cups broccoli florets, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated), 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp oil (1 tbsp for the beef, 1 tbsp for the aromatics and broccoli).

1. Whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water together in a small bowl.
2. 10" fry pan: Heat the first tbsp of oil over medium-high. Because a 10" pan has less surface area, sear the beef in two batches — a single layer, 1-2 minutes per side — to avoid crowding it. Remove to a plate.
3. 10" fry pan: Reduce heat to medium. Add the second tbsp of oil, garlic, and ginger, 30 seconds. Add broccoli and 1/3 cup water, cover, and steam 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
4. 10" fry pan: Uncover, let excess water evaporate. Return the beef and its juices to the pan. Stir the sauce again, pour it in, and toss 1-2 minutes until it thickens and coats everything.

Egg Fried Rice

Serves 4 · About 20 minutes

Ingredients: 4 cups cold cooked rice (day-old is best), 3 eggs (beaten), 1 onion (diced), 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, 3 green onions (sliced), 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp vegetable oil.

1. Ceramic pan: Heat 1 tbsp oil, scramble the eggs softly, remove and set aside.
2. Ceramic pan: Add remaining oil, saute onion 2 minutes, then peas and carrots 3 minutes.
3. Ceramic pan: Add cold rice, breaking up clumps, stir-fry 5-6 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp in spots.
4. Ceramic pan: Return the eggs to the pan, add soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss to combine. Finish with green onions.

Weeknight Chili

Serves 4-6 · About 40 minutes

Ingredients: 500g ground beef, 1 onion (diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bell pepper (diced), 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 796mL canned diced tomatoes, 2 cans (540mL each) kidney beans (drained), 1 cup beef broth, salt, pepper.

1. Ceramic pan: Brown the beef with onion and garlic, about 8 minutes, until no longer pink throughout (internal temperature 71°C / 160°F). Drain excess fat.
2. Ceramic pan: Add bell pepper, chili powder, and cumin, cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Ceramic pan: Add tomatoes, beans, and broth. Bring to a simmer.
4. Ceramic pan: Cover partially and simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
