Cooking
- Thoroughly clean your range as often as necessary.
- Don't preheat your oven unless the recipe calls for it.
- Allow frozen foods to defrost before cooking.
- Adjust the natural gas flame to fit your pans - the flame should never come up around the sides of a pan.
- Cook with as little water as possible and cover the pan.
- Reduce the flame after boiling has started.
- Use a pressure cooker to save cooking time and to cook less expensive cuts of meat.
- Avoid opening the oven door and allowing heat to escape while food is cooking.
- Take advantage of cooking aids such as meat thermometers, meat probes and time and temperature charts.
- Don't use foil to line your oven - it can interfere with air circulation.
- Place the pan on your natural gas range burner before you turn on the heat.
- Plan to cook more than one dish at a time, perhaps an entire meal, in your oven or broiler. If you have a double oven, use the smaller oven for one-dish cooking.
