Lemmy supports tables? Damn, never seen one here in the comments. Good to know!

I was just winging it and it worked out!

Except "one-starring the original recipe because the modified recipe didn't work out"

Because otherwise it looks very reasonable instead of very not reasonable

I see your point. If you view the cells as separate contexts, then it would be necessary to specify that "the substitution" is the thing that didn't work out.

"It” refers to the substitution, not the recipe.

I see your point now. For me it doesn't really read like it, because you have it in another cell of the table which gives it too little weight as a possible context for dereferencing the pronoun, while also having a valid noun preceding the pronoun begging to become referenced by it.

Yeah, I must be fun at parties, I know 😅
