One of the 4 steps never says how long it takes, so both numbers are floors. Nothing here says whether you can walk away, so all 3 min of it is counted as time you are standing over it. The recipe itself says 45 min.

Drawn to scale, so a long wait really does take up the room it takes. The shortest stretches keep a sliver so they stay visible; their times are printed beside them. The minutes are always the recipe’s own; a dashed edge means we worked out from the step whether you have to be there, and a dotted one means nothing was said, so we assumed you are standing over it.
