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. Give the simmer its place
Keep the simmering stage in the sequence when planning the meal. Follow the heat and texture checks in that step rather than rushing straight to the finish.
