A few quick notes
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Measure the blend before mixing
Set out the listed seasonings and measure each one before mixing them together. When you use the finished blend in another recipe, check how much that recipe needs instead of treating the whole jar as one portion.
