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

Southern Tofu and Pineapple 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.
