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. 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.
