Skim all 8 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.

Scale it

Use the servings stepper above the ingredients and every quantity adjusts. Cooking times stay roughly the same.

Reheating

Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
