Enerpysavingstips
0 “Ovenpeeking” can make cooking times longer and affect food quality.
0 Rely on a timer to keep track of cooking time.
0 Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time.
0 If possible, plan to bake while the oven is still hot after cooking.
0 You don’t have to preheat the oven when broiling or roasting.
Roastingtips
0 For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
0 Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.
