USING YOUR RANGE

Broiling tips

•Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain extra liquid and grease away from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.

•Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.

•To make sure grease drains well, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.

•Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil element.

•After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:

Cooktop

•Match the pan to the surface cooking area size.

•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

•To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

•Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•Place a filled pan on the surface cooking area before turning it on.

Oven

•“Oven peeking” can make cooking times longer and affect the food quality.

•Rely on a timer to keep track of cooking time.

•Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.

•It is not necessary to preheat the oven when broiling or roasting, unless your recipe recommends doing so.
