How you know it is done

Scene 10 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Ginger tamari sauce looks done on top and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue in the method, not the color alone. Give it a few more minutes and check the center. Ginger tamari sauce spread, sank, or turned out dry. Measure by weight next time, heat the oven fully, and stop when the doneness cue appears rather than when the timer ends.
On screen. Common fixes

Shot. The dish cools on a rack, then a container is closed. No refrigerator brand in frame.
