PREVIOUS BAKING TIPS

Don't pre-heat oven too far in advance. Oven should take only 10 minutes to heat and some recipes (especially certain breads) can start in a cold oven.

Glass/Pyrex baking dishes will heat faster and distribute heat more evenly and efficiently. Also consider glass/pyrex dishes with reusable covers to cut the cost and waste of plastic wrap.

Bake/prepare smaller dishes. Small batches of cookies, cakes or individual casseroles can bake in a toaster oven.

Clean as you go! A clean oven is an efficient oven. Maintaining a clean oven will help you avoid the energy wasting cleaning cycle.
