Frequently asked questions

What makes a recipe "one-pot" on Listahan?
The whole dish cooks in a single pot, pressure cooker, or dutch oven — no side pans, no separate steps that dirty extra dishes. A mixing bowl for prep doesn't count against it.
Are one-pot recipes still tagged for allergens?
Yes. Every recipe on Listahan, one-pot or not, is tagged for the 9 major allergens from its ingredient list — milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
Can Lens build a week of one-pot dinners for my household?
Yes. In the Listahan app, Lens plans a week around what your household can and can't eat, and you can steer it toward easier cleanup — one-pot and one-pan dinners included — then it builds the shopping list automatically.
Allergen disclaimer: Recipes are tagged from their ingredient lists. Always verify with your own ingredient brands — allergens can vary by manufacturing facility and product formulation. Listahan is not a medical service and allergen tags are not a substitute for reading labels yourself.
