“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer.

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

Preheat the oven no longer than necessary. Plan your meals for the most efficient 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.
