Leave the resting or standing step in place when planning the finish. Use that moment to get the serving things ready, and follow the method before cutting, stirring or serving.

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.
