A few quick notes
1. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
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. 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.

The last little job
Keep the last little job in mind
The recipe finishes with this step: Broil until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes. Set out what you need for that finish before the cooking gets busy.
A little more help as you go
Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
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.
Mix the sauce before its turn
Give the sauce mixture its own preparation step. Have it ready before the recipe calls for it in the pan or bowl, so you can keep moving through the method.
