Welcome to No Pot Cooking!
Posted by in FoodWelcome! I’m so excited to be starting this blog. You should read the “About” page for more info, but let me just say that I have fallen in love with no pot cooking. For me, no pot cooking means using parchment paper packets to cook food with NO MESS. No pots or pans. I am LOVING it. It is a complete lifesaver for me. No more giant stacks of dirty pots and pans to scrub.
The food that I cook this way is delicious, healthy, and amazing. The parchment paper packets seal in all the moisture, flavors, and smells. They act like little pressure cookers, allowing you to make food that is delicious, gorgeous, and most of all, easy. This has changed my life. Check out the “Technique” page for details on how exactly to use parchment paper for cooking (you’re not going to believe how simple this is!).
Let me also add that from time to time I’ll also experiment with muffin tin liner cooking – again, no pots or pans and the shape allows you to cook some things that would be hard to do in parchment (think eggs or things that don’t hold their shape well). I’m having a blast trying all sorts of different foods that way as well.
Come along with me on my journey as I try out new ways to cook with less mess and more flavor!

What a fabulous concept. I hate cleaning pots and just love the idea of this. Looking forward to many great new recipes to try – and much less time in the kitchen.
I’ve never heard of wrapping food in parchment paper. I look forward to reading and learning more!
Thanks! I am amazed at how easy this is – and how it helps me create food with tons of flavor.
That is absolutely the plan!
Love this idea! I cook fish en papillote a lot–love the delicate-but-intense flavors–but I’ve never really experimented with it. Looking forward to seeing more!
Fish is perfect this way. In fact, I think it might be the easiest way to cook fish.
As I write this, I can hear the dishwasher humming in the background — and all I can think is, damn, I’ll have to unload it soon. So I’m thrilled to hear about this new approach to cooking.
I get tired of the daily grind of loading and unloading it too.
Great concept! Love your new blog, Brette.
Thanks!
