Energy saving tips

l Us6 pans with flat bottoms, straight sides, and tight-fifing lids.

l Match the pan to the surface unft size. l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

l Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possible.

Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on the unit.

“Ovenpeeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.

Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in oven.

Preheat the oven no longer than neces-

SW.

Plan your meals for the most effiiient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.

Do not preheat when broiling, roasting, or cooking items such as casseroles.
