General tips

Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.

Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.

Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.

Kitchen safety

Don't dry clothes in the microwave.
If a deep fat frying pan catches fire never throw water over it, if you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan.
