I have to say, the square multi-purpose pan has exceeded all my expectations. It has quickly become my go-to pan for a wide range of cooking tasks, and I can't imagine my kitchen without it. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting out, I highly recommend adding this versatile and practical kitchen tool to your collection.

In terms of specific recipes that work well with the square multi-purpose pan, here are a few of my favorites:

1. One-Pan Mediterranean Chicken and Vegetables

This delicious and healthy recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want something flavorful and easy to prepare. Start by searing chicken breasts in the square multi-purpose pan, then remove them from the pan and set them aside. In the same pan, sauté sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and onions until they're tender and lightly browned. Add canned tomatoes, olives, and a splash of red wine, and let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes. Finally, return the chicken to the pan and bake everything in the oven until the chicken is cooked through.

This elegant appetizer is sure to impress any guests you may have over. To make it, wrap fresh scallops in strips of bacon (I like to use thick-cut bacon for extra flavor), and secure the bacon with toothpicks. Heat the square multi-purpose pan over high heat, and sear the scallops on both sides until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are lightly browned. Then, transfer the pan to the oven and broil the scallops until they're cooked through and tender.

This comforting and hearty dish is perfect for vegetarians or anyone looking to cut back on meat. Start by sautéing diced onions, carrots, and celery in the square multi-purpose pan until they're softened. Then, add canned lentils, diced tomatoes, and frozen peas, and let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes. Finally, top the vegetable mixture with a layer of mashed potatoes (use instant mashed potatoes if you're short on time), and bake everything until the potatoes are lightly browned and crispy.
