A few quick notes

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.
2. Leave room for the cooling step
The cooling step comes before another part of the finish. Set the food aside as the method directs and keep that pause in mind before cutting, coating or putting the final parts together.
3. Set up the coating steps in order
Read the coating sequence and set its ingredients out in that order. Keep the preparation and cooking steps separate so you can finish each piece the same way.
