A few quick notes
1. 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.
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. Keep the mixtures separate until their step
The method prepares more than one mixture before bringing them together. Set out the separate bowls or containers it calls for, then combine them at the stated step.
