Cook's tips

Let it cool as directed before slicing -- cutting in too early makes for a messier, less set result.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
