How to spot good recipes: A checklist

"| parseUrl | unsafe'>Here\'s the rest of the list:

Does the recipe tell you what you can prepare ahead?

Does it tell you how to store the food and for how long?

Are the ingredients specific -- not "1 pound beef," but "1 pound well-marbled beef chuck"?

What kind of pot and utensils to use?

The level of heat and/or the timing needed for each step?

What the food should look like, sound like, and/or smell like?

How to know if it\'s done?

How to serve?
