A few quick notes
1. Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
2. Get the oven ready first
Start with the oven-preheating step in the recipe. Then use the preparation steps that follow to get the food ready for the hot oven.
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.
