Scene 10 · doneness · 6s
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.
Voiceover. Chickpea and Carrot Tagine is done when the thickest piece is tender and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.
On screen. Doneness
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. Chickpea and Carrot Tagine 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. Chickpea and Carrot Tagine 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

Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
