We could have made a bit clearer, but when a food steams that means it's cooked, the longer it steams the more it's cooked and the more points you can get but at some point it will burn, so it's like a game of chicken

There's 2 pieces of paper on the table with suggested cook times for all the meals, if you cook the meal to the time it says it's a guarantee that it will steam and not be overcooked but you will get minimal points, the longer you go beyond the suggested cooking time the more points but you have the risk of burning the food. Yeah it's a spin to win gamble basically.
