A few quick notes
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Fold in at the stated step
Have the ingredient for folding in ready before you need it. Follow that mixing step as written, rather than putting every ingredient into the bowl at the start.
