Always insert the plate when using or cooking meat
on the grill or grid. Pour a little water on the plate to
prevent the fat from giving off a bad smell.
Always use gloves when taking pots from the oven.
Ensure that there is a adeguate ventilation around

Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook. Particularly make sure that the pans are not too
small for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption. It is also advisable to cover any boiling
casserole and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower
the flame enough to keep the boiling point.
As for stoves equipped with lids, it is advisable not to
close the lid while the burners are still hot.
Be very careful when cooking with fat or oil
as the overheated splashes could easily flare
up.
On burners sealed with an adhesive film we suggest to
take the film off before use, in order to avoid burning and
bad smells.
