Needs review

Uncertain sauce instruction: Visible sentence breaks after “until it”; following words do not supply a clear completion. Candidates: “and stir over flame until it”, “and stir over flame until it [missing continuation]”.

Uncertain final fragment: Final wording ends after “+ dash”; referent for “adding” and terminal preparation step are absent. Candidates: “Then adding 1 teaspn salt + dash”, “Then [unclear] adding 1 teaspn salt + dash”.
