I'm 70 years old and have been baking since I was about 8 years old and have never followed all of those steps. My Mother or I never used cooling racks, when you are low income they are an added expense. I have never read a recipe other than when I first found it to determine if I wanted to save it or not, and then when I was doing the actual baking. When I first started baking, it was mixing up the ingredients as my mother told me the measurements of each ingredient as it was time to add it.

Hello JodiT,
This is exactly how my Momma taught me to bake and I'm fifty-six years old. Every time I bake or cook I think of my Momma and give thanks for what she taught me, it just makes my life so much easier.
Thank you for the reminder :). Marie

If pressed for time I have even measured everything possible the night before, then mixed it up in the morning & baked it while doing something else.

Nothing better than an organized cook! Love your advice. It should be in every cookbook that features baking, which is exactly as you stated---an exact science!
