A few quick notes
1. Keep the resting step
Leave the resting or standing step in place when planning the finish. Use that moment to get the serving things ready, and follow the method before cutting, stirring or serving.
2. 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.
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.
