L Y R I C 5 5 M 1 e t a l p t o h e Helpful hints h T 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.

L Y R I C 5 5 M 1 n e v o The oven e Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to h T remove any dust. Heat zones There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods requiring different temperatures all at the same time.

L Y R I C 5 5 M 1 n e v Baking trays and dishes o e h For your safety T Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burner. This will damage the appliance as well as the ovenware and possibly the floor covering underneath the appliance. Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames .
