Total time - this is the full duration from start to finish. It includes the prep time plus "waiting" time for things like dough rising, marinating, or letting a dish cool before serving.

3 top tips to save time in the kitchen

• Marinate while you freeze: Freeze your meat directly in the marinade. Once defrosted, the meat is fully seasoned and ready to cook!
• Master your meal prep: Pre-chop and store your veggies in airtight containers. Having ingredients ready for soups, salads, or sandwiches makes mid-week cooking a breeze.
• Level up with multi-level cooking: Take full advantage of the Varoma levels to cook your main, sides, and even a sauce all at once.
