A few quick notes
1. Keep the package nearby
The method uses package directions for part of the cooking. Read those before choosing your start time, especially if you have a different brand or package size.
2. Stay with the stirring step
Keep this part of the cooking within reach rather than leaving the pan. The method asks for regular stirring, so get the next ingredients ready before that step begins.
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.
