Raise your hand if you’re in a.) shock, b.) denial, or c.) disbelief, that back-to-school time is just around the corner.

I choose D. All of the above!

Soon slow summer days will morph into busy weeknights, but we’ll get through it with help from these 30 Gluten-Free One Pan Recipes.

Made in just one pan from start to finish, these simple, family-friendly recipes take minutes to cook, and will be a hit with the whole crew.

Best Pans for One-Pot Meals

Best pan for going from stovetop to oven:

The Le Creuset 11-3/4″ Signature Skillet is an enameled cast iron skillet that can go from stovetop to oven, and will last forever (here’s a non-enameled, budget-friendly option).

Use this pan for recipes like Skillet Tater Tot Casserole and Skillet Shepherd’s Pie.

Best pan for cooking pasta or rice.

The Tremontina 5-Quart All-in-One-Pan has high sides and a tight fitting lid which works great for one-pot meals that involve cooking pasta or rice.

Use this pan for recipes like Cheesy Chicken Burrito Skillet, and Italian Rice Ball Skillet.

Best pan for cooking soup, stew, and chili.

Enameled cast iron is once again my top choice as a soup, stew, and/or chili pot that will never let you down. The Lodge Essential Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a budget-friendly option that does it ALL.

Use this pan for recipes like One Pot Chicken and Rice, and Signature Chili.

Best everyday skillets.

The Greenpan Ceramic Nonstick 3pc Skillet Set is my go-to for everything from cooking eggs, to making any of the one-pan meals below that only require sauteing.

Use these pan for recipes like Crispy Chicken Bacon Pesto Gnocchi Skillet, and Shrimp and Asparagus Skillet.
