1. 1

   Prepare all ingredients by measuring and organizing them before starting to cook. This is called mise en place and ensures smooth cooking.

   💡 Professional chefs never start cooking without everything prepped and within reach.

2. 2

   Follow the first cooking step carefully, maintaining proper heat levels as indicated.

   💡 Consistent heat control is what separates home cooking from restaurant quality.

3. 3

   Continue with the next phase of cooking, paying attention to texture, color, and aroma cues.

   💡 Your senses are the best tools - trust what you see, smell, and hear.

4. 4

   Complete the final cooking stages, adjusting seasoning as needed.

   💡 Taste as you go and adjust salt and acid accordingly.

5. 5

   Allow the dish to rest if applicable, then plate attractively.

   💡 Presentation matters even for home cooking - it elevates the experience.

6. 6

   Serve immediately while hot, or cool and store properly for later.

   💡 Timing is everything - serve at the peak of flavor.
