Not as easily as you suggest. In my limited experience I've seen two
kinds of potlucks. Most common by a good measure is when everyone
brings already cooked dishes that may or may not get (re-)heated. The
other type adds the ability for some to use the host's kitchen to cook
something (usually something that cooks fast). The first type is
clearly much easier for the host but I don't like the results much.
You mostly get casseroles and crockpot stuff, not my favorite things
to cook or to eat. To make the second type successful the host
kitchen has to be adaptable for multiple users and the host ends up
with more clean-up work. So while I've always liked the concept of
potlucks, the successful executions have been rare. -aem

Been to an RFC cook-in?

Take a look.

They're a BLAST!
