One I Prepared Earlier	comment	In cooking shows, it is seldom realistic to expect the dish to be cooked in real time, particularly if the dish has to be cooked over a long time or there is a long waiting period in preparation. Baking a loaf of bread, for example, requires the dough to rest for an extended period and then a long baking time. Few programs are three to four hours long, and much of that time would be watching an oven be hot. So instead, after putting the dish into the oven, the chef will often then take another plate out of it, the same dish prepared a while before and allowed to cook. This is a vital time-saving method when the chef does this live, in front of a Studio Audience. When there's extremely limited time, such as on a cooking segment of a show, this helps keep the end result sane due to a lack of time to properly prepare the ingredients. An alternative approach for non-live productions is an elapsed-time cut, where they simply don't film the wait. Good Eats gives this impression sometimes. This approach may also be used for budget constraints. On The New Yankee Workshop, Norm Abrams probably isn't going to build an entire second desk to avoid waiting for the paint to dry on the first (although he does when he planned to make more than one anyway, as with chairs). Cooking show parodies make fun of this trope, putting goopy cake batter into one oven and opening another oven to reveal One I Prepared Earlier that already has icing and decorations. Parodies that use the skip to omit several vital steps can overlap with Missing Steps Plan or And Some Other Stuff. The phrase originated on Blue Peter, but was also used for craft makes which have the same problem, as glue and paint can take hours to set. Compare Already Done for You.

One I Prepared Earlier / int_10e838b2	comment	Alec of Technology Connections will frequently take apart whatever device he's looking at in order to better explain its workings. When he does, he always has an already-dismantled device ready "through the magic of buying two of them".

One I Prepared Earlier / int_2abd5315	comment	In one "Film, TV, and Theater Styles" segment of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Colin is the wife cheating on husband Ryan with the ski instructor Wayne. Drew switches the style to "cooking show". Ryan says "I find when my wife is cheating, it's best to put her in a oven set at 350 for 2 hours. Colin pretends to get into an oven. Wayne says "Because we couldn't do this on a regular show, we have a prepared wife in the other oven. Colin moves over and walks out, while Ryan and Wayne make impressed noises with how well "she" came out.

One I Prepared Earlier / int_44e0b783	comment	Parodied and averted in a particular Garfield comic, where the host evidently didn't prepare a second dish in advance and they actually show the hot oven for 45 minutes. The host even asks his audience if anyone know any good jokes to pass the time, while Garfield remarks this part of the show is usually pretty boring.

One I Prepared Earlier / int_8d87d97a	comment	A lot of the Cafe Zoom segments of the 1999 revival of Zoom employ this trope, as each segment only runs a few minutes and is combined with other segments into a half-hour show. Many of the Zoom examples of the trope are decorative takes on cake; the cooking portion of many such segments subvert it, as begin with the cake itself already prepared to cut and/or decorate. Keiko pulled a twofer for the segment on making a bunny cake: she started out with two yellow cakes ready to cut and frost, and after she cut and began to frost them, she revealed that two more cakes on a pan shelved under the counter were already frosted.

As it just so happens, the day they were doing pigs was the day that a) they forgot to put in the fake and b) the day Pumbaa climbed into the fake oven. With hilarious consequences.

One I Prepared Earlier / int_d46cc708	comment	In an episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, this trope is parodied when Rolf is preparing an old home remedy for pimples (for Eddy who had broken out in an enormous zit that grew larger than his head). The remedy, which involved among other things, rutabagas and a squid, has to simmer for two weeks, but then Rolf reveals that he for some goddamn reason already HAD a finished batch (which is hilarious in two ways; he had no reason to know that Eddy would get a zit, and even if he did, he wouldn't have had to make a new batch to show how it's done). Ed applauds like the audience for a cooking show.
