Great Tips on How to Preserve Your Oven

The following steps are important to take if you want to keep your oven longer. Make sure your oven stove or range are working well when you are having guests over by maintaining it regularly.
  1. Try cooking or baking for several meals at the time instead of starting the oven up only one meal  each time, This will help prolong the life of the oven or stove.
  2. By keeping your oven always clean, you will actually help it to run more efficiently and to heat up or cook food more evenly.
  3. Privilege the use of the microwave to reduce the use of your oven. A microwave is a lot less expensive to replace!
  4. Verify that the seal closes well by looking at the closed oven door and try to see if there is any gap between the main oven and the door seal. If there is a damage in the seal, the oven will lose heat.
  5. Check to see if there is moisture appearing on the outside of the over door. This is usually caused by faulty oven door gaskets.
  6. To find out if your oven is baking properly and that the temperature is accurate, you can use a basic cake mixes and follow the instructions exactly. If the cake comes out not fully baked or over cooked – even if you followed the instructions, then the temperature is probably not accurate. You can also use an over thermometer.
