Step 1
Read your list of ingredients. Make sure you have all the items before you start following the recipe. You don't want to get half way through the recipe and find you are missing a key ingredient.
How to Tackle a Recipe
Read the recipe all the way through before you turn a hand. Every word!
Check your supplies, to see if you have all the ingredients called for.
See if you have the right equipment to work with. Nothing is more frustrating than to be in the middle of a recipe and find you do not have the right pan or pot.
If you are not familiar with an ingredient listed, look it up so you will recognize it the next time.
At this point, get out all ingredients and all equipment.
Do as much preparation prior to combining ingredients as you possibly can - following exactly, of course, recipe directions.
Last but not least, follow the recipe to the letter. It is only the experienced cook who can take liberties with, or make changes in a recipe. All recipes published today are thoroughly tested, and the directions given should be followed meticulously.
You’ll be a happier cook if you
Make it a habit to trim, peel, scrape foods over
waxed paper or paper towels. Saves work in the long run.
Keep a damp cloth close at hand. Cooking is more fun and more successful when your hands and kitchen are tidy.
Wash pots, pans, and utensils as you work.
Wipe off your range each time you use it.
Preheat your oven for all baking - unless recipes say not to.
Wipe off tops of salad-oil, catsup, chili-sauce,
mustard bottles or jars every time you use them.
Do not cut or increase recipes unless you are
skilled enough to recognize the difference in pan sizes and/or cooking time necessitated by the change.

Follow the steps in the recipe directions. Measure the dry ingredients with measuring spoons and cups. Level off the dry portions so that no ingredient overflows. You want an accurate measurement or the recipe won't work out. Use a liquid measuring cup for measuring liquids.
