Green Tip of the Day

Tips for oven efficiency:

Each time you open the oven for a peek, it loses up to 25% of its heat. Yes, it's so tempting, but it wastes heat. Your oven probably has a window - use it.

You'll save on energy bills when you do things like turning off the oven a few minutes early. The heat retained inside should finish the job.

Your bake job will go faster if you don't wait to preheat. Unless you're baking cakes or pastries, it's usually unnecessary.

When you're done, open the oven and let the extra heat warm your house.
