    How you know it is done

    Shot. Close on the center of the food. A skewer, tap, or spoon shows the cue. Hold long enough to see it.

    If it goes wrong

    Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.

    Voiceover. Chiang Mai Pork and Eggplant 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. Chiang Mai Pork and Eggplant 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.
