SurfaceCooking
~Usecookwareof medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fittingcovers
and with bottomsthat completely
coverthe heatedportion of the
surface unit.
~Cook fresh vegetableswith a
minimumamount of water in a
coveredpan.
~wat& foodswhen bringing them
quicklyto cooking temperatures at
highheat. When food reaches
cookingtemperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowestsettingthat
willkeep it cooking.
e[Jse re~id~a]heat whenever

~Alwaysturn surface unitoff

@When boiling water forteaor
coffee, heat only amountneeded.
It isnot economical to boilafull
container ofwater for only
one or two cups.
owl-l Cwking
~Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foodswill cook
satisfactorilywithout preheating.
If you find preheating isnecessary,
put food in the ovenpromptly after
the ovenis preheated.
QAlwaysturn ovenoffbefore
removing food.
~During baking, avoidfrequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short atime as possible if it is
opened.
~Cookcompleteovenmeals
insteadofjust onefood item.
Potatoes,other vegetablesand
somedesserts will cook together
with amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foodsthat cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the sametime.
@Use residual heat in oven
wheneverpossibleto finish

etc. Also add roHsor precooked
