- Choose two fish fillets or chops of similar thickness so they finish together.
- Store the unused half of an opened ingredient promptly and plan its next use.
- A 10- or 12-inch skillet is often more useful than halving a large casserole in a deep dish.
- Read the ingredient list before starting: some quick recipes begin with cooked rice or cooked chicken.
Frequently asked questions
Are these simply larger recipes divided in half?
The ingredient amounts and instructions are written for two servings. Portions vary with appetite; add a vegetable or bread side if wanted.
Can I double them?
Usually, but use a larger pan or cook in batches so food can brown. Check doneness rather than assuming the same cooking time.
