General kitchen advice

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.

Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.

Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.

Cooking safety

Electrical appliances - especially those that work at high speeds, such as the washing machine - should be serviced each year.
Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've used them.

Ingredients And Procedures

-French or sourdough) 1/2 c Butter

Salt and cayenne pepper 1 pt Raw oysters, well-drained

1 tb Lemon juice

1 sm Onion, grated

1/2 c Whipping cream

paprika (TIP:) This dish can be made with oysters of *any* size. While fresh ones ARE best, thawed, frozen oysters *may* be used.

The rest can be finished in minutes, once the bread is browned. Remove the crusts from the bread. Cut the bread into quarter-inch cubes; in a large skillet, melt half the butter. Add 2 cups of bread cubes and toss over LOW HEAT until they're golden-brown. Sprinkle the cubes lightly with salt and caynne, stirring constantly. Brown the remaining cubes in the remaining butter. Sprinkle again with the cayenne and the salt. Cover the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish with 1/3 of the bread cubes; top the bread evenly with half the oysters, sprinkle with salt and cayenne, half the lemon juice and half the onion. Cover with 1/3 of the bread cubes and sprinkle with salt, cayenne, the rest of the lemon juice and the onion. Pour in the cream, and top with the last third of the bread cubes. Sprinkle with paprika to make pretty. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes and serve *immediately*.
