GAS SAVING HINTS
SOME COMMON-SENSE SUGGESTIONS This list of common-sense suggestions will reduce your gas bills: If a pilot light is not attached to the hotplate, have light ready before turning on taps. When cooking is finished turn off taps at once. ... Heat water over griller when it is in use. Tips of flames should not rise round sides of pan. To keep pan boiling, it is not necessary to leave tap on full; use simmering burner where possible. Boiling vegetables in parchment paper, several vegetables may be cooked in one pan. When using steamer, make full use of all compartments. As far as possible use full space of oven, bottom, middle and top. Vegetables may be cooked in casserole at same time as meat. Custards and sweets needing slow cooking should stand on the bottom plate. Sweets or casserole dishes for the following day may be cooked in the oven when it is heated for an oven dinner. Biscuits and meringues can be cooked to use up conserved oven heat after a dinner has been cooked. Turn off hot-water taps when sufficient water is drawn, and do not wash up in running hot water with plug removed from the sink.
