Prepare for the method
Read the full recipe first. Weigh ingredients, check the required equipment and allow for any resting, rising or chilling stages it specifies.
Follow the food, not just the clock
Use the recipe’s texture and doneness cues alongside its timings. Record changes to ingredients or equipment so the next batch is easier to repeat.
