We benchmarked the average Indian morning at 22 minutes from alarm to door. Of those, 8 are realistically available for breakfast prep. So that's the number we built around.
Every Pan 8 recipe is engineered to plate in 8 minutes, including rest time. If a recipe takes longer in testing, it doesn't ship. No exceptions.
The constraint is the product. Make breakfast take longer than 8 minutes and it competes with sleep — a fight breakfast loses every single time.
