You have chicken thighs, forty minutes and one pan. That is the question people actually arrive with, and until now this site could not answer it. Every filter below is built from what each recipe states about itself rather than from a guess, which means a recipe that never said how long it takes will not pretend otherwise.

What this is filtering, and what it is not

This index covers the recipes on this site that carry a full method and ingredient list. Essays that discuss several dinners at once, technique explainers and the pieces that describe a method in prose are deliberately left out, because they are not the thing you are looking for when you are standing in the kitchen at ten past six. If you are not sure which time to press, a weeknight has three shapes and picking one is faster than browsing.

The time filter is the honest weak point. Roughly two-thirds of these recipes state a total time or enough of a breakdown to add up; the rest never committed to a number, and rather than invent one for them, the filter simply sets them aside whenever you ask for a time. Filtering by main ingredient or by equipment keeps almost everything.

If you want the decision made for you rather than the list narrowed, Kitchen and Bar starts from what is already in your kitchen instead of from a category. And if the question is a quantity rather than a recipe, the free calculators handle salt, pans, scaling and timing.
