A few quick notes
1. Keep the package nearby
The method uses package directions for part of the cooking. Read those before choosing your start time, especially if you have a different brand or package size.
2. Give yourself room for batches
The method calls for working in batches. Read that part before filling the pan, and give each batch the same cooking and doneness checks rather than crowding everything in at once.
3. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
