A few quick notes
1. Check the thawing step first
Look at which ingredient needs thawing before you begin the cooking. Use the form called for in the ingredient list and follow any draining or squeezing step that comes with it.
2. Match the preparation in the method
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
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.
