A few quick notes
1. Keep a bowl or plate nearby
Part of the food comes out of the pan before going back in later. Have somewhere ready to put it, and keep that handoff in the recipe’s order.
2. Set out the first ingredients
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
3. Have the sauce liquid measured
Measure the liquid before starting this sauce step. That makes it easier to follow the stirring or whisking sequence while the flour mixture is in the pan.
