A few quick notes
1. Give the marinade its turn
Look at the marinating step before you get the rest of dinner going. Keep that preparation in the order the recipe gives, and check the full method for how it fits around the cooking.
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. 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.
