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