Cooking in a gas oven

Preheating the gas oven is an essential first step for achieving consistent and evenly cooked meals.  To preheat, simply set the desired temperature on the oven dial and allow it to heat up for about 10-15 minutes.  This ensures that the oven reaches the right temperature before you start cooking.

​

Gas ovens often cook food faster than electric ovens due to the immediate heat provided by the gas flame.  Keep an eye on your dishes and adjust the cooking times accordingly.

​

Gas oven temperature dials may not always be accurate.  To ensure the correct temperature, invest in an oven thermometer.  This simple tool will give you an accurate reading, allowing you to adjust your cooking accordingly.
