Deeper dive
Every food has two costs: the cash price on the offer and the minutes its timer holds an appliance. The Aureo completion run makes the second cost visible — spinach’s 20 seconds barely register, while ham’s 27 minutes occupies a station for half an hour before its ~$1 million-per-second payoff arrives.
Plan accordingly: cheap fast foods keep money flowing between the big bakes, and starting a 27-minute cook right before a break means the timer costs you nothing. This queue discipline — not any secret recipe — is what the checked sessions do differently from a stalled kitchen.
Deeper dive
The developer publishes no recipe or timer table, and no fan source checked on November 2 documents a complete one. The in-game prompt on each offer is the authoritative source for appliance and time; the documented values here are session observations that give you planning anchors, not an official chart.
The anchor values still earn their place: bread’s five seconds and ham’s 27 minutes bracket the whole economy, so when a new offer appears you can place it on that scale instantly — short-cook pipeline food, mid-tier session filler, or before-the-break bake. Treat any food whose prompt falls far outside these brackets as a sign the game was updated, and re-anchor from the live prompt.
