Because it is practically not possible to make 5 courses of 4 plates each in one hour. So, each chef must make 5 courses of 1 plate each within the first 60 minutes. After that, they are given an addition 60 minutes in which they can make the same dish 3 more times (to make 4 plates - 3 for the judges and 1 for the chairman) This is done to ensure that the chef's have enough time to make stellar dishes instead of having to cram their time in making multiple portions of each of those dishes.
