Stovetop, skillet · 95

Browned in a hot pan, then simmered twenty to thirty minutes with the sauce reducing to bun-clinging thickness in the same pan — the standard route, and the one that lets you drain the fat and watch the sauce's consistency directly.

Oven, covered dish · 52

Browned mince and sauce baked together in a covered dish instead of a skillet — even, hands-off heat for the same short simmer.

Pressure cooker · 3 thin evidence

Raw meat and sauce pressure-cooked together for a fast version — since there's no collagen to convert, pressure buys speed but nothing structural.
