A few quick notes
1. Have the finishing ingredients ready
Some of the finishing happens after the pan comes off the heat. Have those ingredients ready and follow that order, rather than adding everything at the beginning.
2. 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.
3. Remember the turn or stir
Set a reminder for the turn or stir mentioned in the method. It is an easy small step to miss while you are getting the table ready.
