Are cooking and prep times just false advertising for online recipes?

1 month ago 52

Pro chef for over ten years and I swear I’ve not ever once come close to the listed prep and cook times of online recipes. Oh, 10 min of prep, 20 min cook time? Awesome let’s go for that. I made lohikeitto (Finnish salmon soup) and those were the precise times listed. Sure the prep was maybe 15-20 min, but cmon, 20 min cook time isn’t even close. I see this all the time; are they just trying to drive traffic by making everything look easier? Anyways, at least while this cooks I can read all about how the bloggers family used to make this for special occasions and what it means to them. Bc that’s always key to nailing a recipe. Rant over. (Not applicable to slow cooking, long cooks, some baking etc…)
