Those numbers are off. It takes me about half an hour to cook a meal. I clean while things are cooking if I can. And it takes me about the same time to eat. I get that it's a joke, but it's entirely unrealistic unless you're doing things very wrong.
Depends on what you're cooking.
For example: I can throw together some pasta and have it be done in 20 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. All depending on the type of pasta I'm making, how many people I'm serving, and how complex I want to get and how many layered flavors I'm trying to build or if I want to make my own fresh noodles or use some dried noodles in the pantry.
However, no matter the process I use, at the end I usually only have one pot, serving utensils, and dishes used for the meal. I clean while I cook very effectively, but there are times where timings of cooking techniques prevent that and I'll have to do some quick cleanup before serving.
