Reading Recipes

Begin by reading your chosen recipe from start to finish. Make sure you understand exactly what you're supposed to do.
Make sure you have all the ingredients before beginning. If you don't, make a list of what you need.
Gather all the necessary equipment.
Measure the ingredients accurately. Take our Measuring Quiz for tips on measuring.
In general, it's a good idea to finish one recipe step before you start another.
Practice good food-safety habits.
When you're done, put away all the ingredients and equipment. Wash and dry the dirty dishes (or load them in the dishwasher). Wipe off the counters and tables.
