after you use them is the word already right. therefore is an adverb, not a joining word, so it cannot join two parts after a comma; accept so, or a new sentence: Therefore, wait ten minutes. during is a preposition and takes a thing, so during you cook it needs while (or as). For the tune, accept as or when as well as while.
