Jay and Dunc's Cooked Creations

The Rock presents two smiling chefs, Jay and Dunc, surrounded by flames and fiery text "COOKED CREATIONS"; one points, the other holds a blowtorch, with a Fire Emergency NZ logo.

The Rock Drive have selected some recipes for if you've had too much, because 1 in 4 house fires start in the kitchen.

These are easy to make and keep you off the stove… so you won't burn the house down because you forgot about the pizza in the oven.
