PLAZA Helpful hints Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans, Cover pans with a [id whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly.
PLAZA The oven Heat zones TEMPERATURE There are zones of heat within the oven. Rose The temperature in the middle is the gas COLDER 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.

PLAZA Oven temperature chart The chart below is intended to help you use your oven. If you are using a gas oven for the first time or if a recipe says ‘cook at 350°F" or ‘use a moderately hot oven’ you can use the chart to find out what gas mark to use. The temperatures are only a guide they aren't actual temperatures in the oven.
PLAZA Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender, You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.
