~Preheat the oven onlywhen

If youfind preheating isnecessary, put foodin the ovenpromptly after the ovenis preheated.

QAlwaysturn ovenoff before

removing food.

~During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible if it is opened.

~Cook completeovenmeals insteadofjust one fooditem. Potatoes,other vegetablesand somedesserts willcook together with amain-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foodsthat cook at thesame temperature andin approximately the sametime.

@Use residual heatin oven wheneverpossible tofinish cookingcasseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add roHsor precooked dessertsto warm oven, using residualheat to warm them.
