I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. I noticed, however, there is no instruction for pan preparation.

It says at the top that it takes 30 mins to cook, however looking at the individual instructions it seems to add up to 17 mins, please can you confirm how long this should be cooked for and if there is a mistake in the details?
