What to make with a tiny pan, a sheet pan, and large pots?

[Anonymous]

In an Airbnb with limited supplies for a couple of weeks before we move into our new house…I have a lot of kitchen stuff so am trying to avoid buying duplicate items for this 2 week period. What can I make with a small frying pan (like 8 inches), a small sheet pan and a couple of large pots?

I feel like I'd be eating a lot of spaghetti and garlic bread in this situation.

Lots of soup, jambalayas, shrimp, spaghetti, lots of eggs or oatmeal, tacos, applesauce, Chicken Alfredo, jello, popcorn, lamb shanks in tomato sauce over rice.

How many people, and how much time?

Is the tiny pan like a little saute pan?

It's hot. Do you have things like mixing bowls?

Frying pan sounds big enough for omelettes. Since it's summer, I'd stick to cold stuff anyway, so big batch of pasta for cold pasta salads/pasta with pesto/couscous with chickpeas/etc. And leaning into salads. If the oven doesn't have a roasting pan you could grab one of the semi-disposable aluminum ones at the grocery store to make roast chicken (or just buy a rotisserie chicken tbh).

If the large pots are like Dutch ovens/have lids, there are lots of braises you could do. Frontera Barbacoa and carnitas sauce pouches are great/super easy. Safeway has a jarred Chile Verde sauce that’s quite good with pork. Food 52 has a very good pork shoulder ragu recipe that’s a little more work
(https://food52.com/recipes/39733-andy-ward-jenny-rosenstrach-s-pork-shoulder-ragu). Also lasagna and/or enchiladas might work.

Stovetop ideas — potatoes & greens hash (https://www.food.com/recipe/winter-greens-and-potatoes-189868), veggie chili.

Get some aluminum foil and make foil packets. Works for chicken or fish. Make baked potatoes.

I feel like that's all you need. I'm confused about what you can't make.

Buy some disposable aluminum pans and you can make anything. Chicken, pizza, lasagna, frittata, stuffed bell peppers, fish, seafood, etc.

Even with 2 people, I use a wok or large frying pan or bistro pan fairly frequently. So I’d find the Air BnB’s equipment limiting.
