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

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: Invert into a pan. Set out what you need for that finish before the cooking gets busy.
A little more help as you go
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.
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.
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.
