A few quick notes

Arrange the food in the layer the method calls for. If you increase the portions, check the pan or basket space before cooking so you can keep that arrangement.
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. 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.
