Mac and cheese, compared

Make a table

The split here is structural: some of these build a roux and bake the dish, others melt everything on the hob and serve it straight. That is the difference between a forty-minute recipe and a fifteen-minute one, and it shows up in the time column far more clearly than in any of the ingredient weights.

10 recipes in the library match this dish. Every figure is one the recipe itself stated; where a recipe said nothing, the cell is empty rather than filled in. Each row links to its table, and every table credits and links its source.
