General kitchen advice

Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.


Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.
