Energy Saving Tips
Top-of-the-Range Cooking
1. Use cooking utensils of medium weight alumi­
num, tight-fitting covers, and fiat bottoms which
completely cover the heated portion of the surface
unit.
2. Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum amount
of water in a covered pan,
3. '‘‘Keep an eye” on foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce
heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it
cooking.
4. Use residual heat with surface cooking when­
ever possible. For example, when cooking eggs in
the shell, bring water to boil, then turn to OFF posi-
tho rnnkinn

to start cooking (if time allows, do not use HIGH
heat to start), 7—quick brownings, 4—slow frying,

quantities.
6. When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only
the amount needed. It is not economical to boil a
container full of water for only one or two cups.
Oven Cocking
1. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most
foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If
you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on
the indicator light,
and put food in the oven
promptly after the light goes out.
2. Always turn oven OFF before removing food.
3. During baking, avoid frequent door openings.
Keep door open as short a time as possible when it
is opened.

5. Cook complete oven meals instead of just one
food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some
desserts will cook together with a main-dish casse-

cook at the same temperature and in approximately
the same time.
6. Use residual heat in oven whenever possible to
finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also
add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven,
using residual heat to warm them.
