Line 4:
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 [[Step Three: Profit]] 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.
Line 10:
Compare [[Already Done for You]]. Not to be confused with [[In Medias Res]], which used to be named [[One We Prepared Earlier]].
{{examples
* ''[[Blue Peter]]'' is the Trope Namer.
* ''[[The Frugal Gourmet]]'' had something like that. He had two ovens, one atop the other, and would pop the dish he had prepared into the one and then take one he prepared earlier out of the other.
