How you know it is done

Scene 11 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Green Curry Chicken 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. Green Curry Chicken 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.
