[Sca-cooks] Order of ingredients

[Chawkswrth]

One of the first things I stressed with my students when I was teach, 
was to read the recipe through at least twice before starting. 5 times 
would be the best. That way, no surprises.

Another idea is to put out your ingredients in the order they appear in 
the instructions. That way, you don't have to stop and prep something.

but first, (sings) read iiit, read iiit, gotta get the word out, read 
iiiit.....

Sorry 'bout that....

Putting the ingredients in a list in the order they appear in the 
recipe is
my preference. The one thing I truly hate is when a recipes says 
something
like: 2 cups onions, divided. It makes me crazy because invariably I 
dump
all 2 cups in without realizing I needed to reserve 1/2 a cup for later 
in
the recipe. I'd prefer if the recipe calls for 1 1 /2 cups at the 
beginning
and 1/2 cup at the end for the ingredient to be listed twice. I may be
alone in this but it is my preference.
