How long does it take to cook a meal from You Plate It?

Most recipes are designed to be cooked in 35 minutes or less. Our menu (https://youplateit.com.au/recipes) indicates the estimated cooking time of each recipe.

Cooking time is, however, very dependent on your skill in the kitchen, and also how precious you are about the preparation of ingredients. Some people can cook faster than our estimated times, others take longer.

If you have an air fryer, you can use that instead of an oven to help speed up times. Additionally, using graters and mandolins is significantly faster than chopping (unless you're a kitchen pro).

During the cooler months we offer slow cooker meals, designed to cook over several hours, these will be clearly indicated.

Sometimes, a recipe in a larger serving size will take longer. For example, cooking 2 kilo of potato chips in the oven just takes longer than cooking 1 kilo of potato. But, our website only displays one time, and that is the 2 serve option.
