SurfaceCooking

~Use cookwareof mediumweight aluminum, with tight-fittingcovers and with bottomsthat completely

coverthe heatedportion of the surface unit.

~Cook fresh vegetableswith a minimumamount of waterin a

@When boiling waterfor teaor coffee, heat onlyamount needed. It isnot economical to boila full container ofwater for only one or two cups.

owl-l Cwking

~Preheat the oven onlywhen

necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorilywithout preheating.

If youfind preheating is necessary, 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.

There are anumber ofprecautions youcan take toavoidmarring the porcelainenameled surface ofthe

cooktopand preventit from becomingdull. Don’tslideheavy pansacross it. If you spillfoods

witha lotof acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with high sugarcontent, cleanthem up as soon aspossible. If allowedto set, these foods could

causea duHspot. Also, no matter howstubborn the food stain, never

useharsh abrasive cleansers. They couldpermanently damage the enamelsurface. Werecommend a

cleanser such as “Soft Scrub”” brand.
