A few quick notes
1. Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
2. Set out the finishing ingredient
Keep the finishing ingredient within reach while the main preparation is going on. Add it at the step in the method so the last job is easy to complete.
3. Choose the slow-cooker schedule first
Read the setting and cooking time in the full method before deciding when to start. Keep the finishing steps in view as well, so the dinner fits the day you have.
