Food tips

Kitchen Tip : Even though they are like magnets for spills, keep stovetop reflectors clean. They will reflect heat better and save energy. If you need new ones, buy quality. The best on the market can save as much as 1/3 of the energy used with inferior reflectors.

Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.

Oven Tips : If you don't have one, consider buying a self-cleaning oven. They use less energy for normal cooking because of higher insulation levels. They also save on your rubber glove and cleanser purchases! However, if you use the self-cleaning feature more than once a month, you'll end up using more energy than you saved. When you clean the oven, do it right after cooking to take advantage of residual heat.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/4 c Margarine

2 c Applesauce

1 c Unbleached all-purpose flour

1 1/2 c Oat Bran

1 c Sugar

1 ts Baking soda

1 ts Ground cinnamon

1/2 ts Grated nutmeg

1/4 ts Ground cloves

1 c Raisins

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease the bottom only of a 9" baking pan. In a large saucepan, heat the margarine and applesauce together over medium heat until the margarine is just melted, then remove from heat. Add the remaining ingredients, stir quickly to moisten, then pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
