A few tips on how to cook delicious and safe dishes in the oven
1. There's no difference in which stove is more efficient — electric or gas. They are the same kind of appliance; the gas burner just gives off heat from below, while the electric one heats from above. Ideally, it's best to place the baking sheet in the middle.
2. You must preheat the stove first. While the oven warms up, turn the dial to maximum power — 15-20 minutes is enough. Then cut the heat in half and slide the container of food inside.
3. Don't take tips from oven recipes too literally, the kind that say: "... for 25 minutes at 200 degrees." Relying on a thermometer and a clock is tricky and unreliable, and more than one dinner has been ruined that way. The secret is simple: trust your nose. When the first appetizing smells fill the air, check the dish right away — pierce the dough with a matchstick, judge the level of browning, move the baking sheet, take a sample. By this point the casserole is about 80% done.
4. Once you turn off the heat, don't rush to take the baking sheet out — let the dish rest behind the closed door as the oven cools and "finish" on its own. That way there's less risk of a burn and the flavor comes out richer, especially with vegetables or ingredients in a sauce.
