A few quick notes
1. 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.
2. Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
3. Have the grill ready for its turn
Read the grill setup before starting the food. Keep the recipe’s heat and turning instructions together, so the handoff from preparation to cooking is straightforward.
