Question

I got out a bowl and read the recipe and then I started adding ingredients. After which word should a comma be placed?
then

recipe

bowl

Answer 1

The comma should be added after the word bowl. Commas need to be added after conjunctions. Conjunctions include for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS). Hope this helped :))

Answer 2

A comma should be added after the word "recipe", since it is here that the sentence can be broken into two independent clauses.
