Cooking with natural gas

• Keep natural gas flames to the same size as the base of your saucepan.
• Put lids on saucepans.
• Use the minimum amount of water for boiling or steaming.
• Use the different heat zones in the oven to cook several things at once, but resist opening the door to check — use the timer and light control instead.
• Turn natural gas down as soon as the saucepan contents boil.
• Use the high-speed burners for rapid cooking or boiling and the simmer burners for long, slow cooking.
• Use heavy based saucepans for cooking to get the best conduction of heat.
• Conventional natural gas ovens do not need to be pre-heated.
• Use fan-forced cooking to save time and money.
• Clean your natural gas cooking appliances and have them serviced regularly to ensure maximum efficiency.
