How to Make Christmas Dinner in One Pan

Most people can probably agree that the best part of Christmas day isn’t the presents, it isn’t the quality time with your family, it’s the food. The one downside? The hours of washing up after preparing a full roast.

If you only have a smaller oven available, putting together all the essential elements of a Christmas dinner can feel impossible. However, using the BergHOFF double roasting pan it is possible to cook an entire Christmas dinner for four people (with extra for seconds) in just one pan.

One of the more versatile pieces in the BergHOFF Eurocast cookware range, the double roasting pan is a non stick cookware essential. Featuring a roasting dish where the lid doubles as a grill pan, you get two pieces of cookware in one. The non-stick surface means that if you wanted you could partake in fat free, healthy cooking – although, Christmas isn’t for worrying about a few extra calories. A bit of gluttony never hurt anyone.

The Berghoff Eurocast cookware range is renowned for being easy to clean. Say goodbye to hours scrubbing away at the sink trying to remove glued on residue from dinner and simply wipe down your pans with hot soapy water.

There’s no need to worry about your roasting pan only being used once and never again because there’s absolutely loads of delicious things to make. From soups to steaks, you can do it all, in one pan. Suitable for all hob types and the oven, you’re far from limited to just roasts.

Put that frying pan down! All you need is the BergHOFF double roasting pan – here’s how you do it. Prepare dinner for the whole family, as this recipe serves 4 people (with enough leftover for a turkey sandwich on boxing day).

Ingredients:

Turkey Breast

Honey-Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

Roast Potatoes

Stuffing Balls

Pigs in Blankets

Yorkshire Puddings

Gravy

Brussels Sprouts

1. Prep the Turkey and Potatoes (15 minutes)

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2. Rub the turkey with butter, salt, pepper, garlic and fresh herbs.
3. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary.

2. Prep Honey-Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

1. Toss the sliced carrots and parsnips in olive oil, honey, salt, pepper and fresh thyme.
2. Set them aside to add to the pan later in the roasting process.

3. Start Roasting the Turkey (1 hour 30 minutes)

1. Place your turkey breast in one side of the larger compartment of your BergHOFF double roasting pan, place on the lid and put it in the oven.
2. After 30 minutes of roasting, add your potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to the other side of the pan.

4: Make the Yorkshire Pudding Batter (5 minutes)

1. Whisk together eggs, flour, milk, and a pinch of salt. Rest in the fridge.

5: Add Stuffing Balls and Pigs in Blankets (1 hour into roasting)

1. Follow the instructions on your stuffing mix and roll the stuffing into small balls.
2. Wrap sausages in bacon for the pigs in blankets.
3. After the turkey has roasted for 1 hour, add the stuffing balls and pigs in blankets around the vegetables.

6: Crisp Up and Finish Roasting (20 minutes)

1. Open the pan slightly or uncover it for the last 20-30 minutes to crisp the skin of your turkey, potatoes and caramelise the honey on the carrots and parsnips.
2. Check that the turkey’s internal temperature has reached 75°C. Remove it from the oven, transfer to a plate, and cover with foil.

7: Cook Yorkshire Puddings (15 minutes)

1. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C.
2. Pour 3tbsp of oil into the lid of your double roasting pan, then heat in the oven until the oil is almost smoking.
3. Pour in the Yorkshire pudding batter and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden. (This will make one giant yorkshire that can be divided into 6).

8: Make the Gravy (10 minutes)

1. Once the Yorkshire puddings are done, place the now empty large section of your roasting pan onto the hob on a low heat.
2. Add flour to the pan drippings, stirring to form a roux. Gradually whisk in stock and add a dash of Worcestershire sauce if desired. Simmer until thickened and add to a gravy boat.

9: Sauté Brussels Sprouts and Bacon (10 minutes)

1. Add Brussels sprouts, chopped bacon, butter, salt and pepper to your now empty pan. Cover with the lid and cook on the stovetop over medium heat, steaming until tender, then uncover to crisp the bacon.

That’s it! Now all that’s left to do is plate everything up and enjoy. Trust us, Christmas is a whole lot merrier when you don’t have a mountain of pans to wash.
