kitchen tips

Using the oven can be daunting, if not downright terrifying.

“The oven is so confusing, ” I hear you say.  “Won’t someone please tell us how to use it?”

I’m glad you asked. Yes, indeed the oven can be intimidating with all those dials.

However, you’ll bake an excellent dish everytime if follow these basic steps.

1) Preheat the oven.

2) Put the food to be baked in the oven. (This is a critical step or so a friend told me.)

3) Take the food out. (Also important, unless of course, you’re trying to make charcoal and black smoke.)

There you have it, you chef, you.
