A few quick notes

1. Plan the chilling step

Read the chilling step before deciding when to start. Make room in the fridge and use the time and sequence in the recipe, so that part does not catch you by surprise.

2. Set out the first ingredients

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.

3. Keep the mixtures separate until their step

The method prepares more than one mixture before bringing them together. Set out the separate bowls or containers it calls for, then combine them at the stated step.
