Casseroles, roasts, broiled foods, and other dishes don't need to go into a warm oven. Follow the recipe and use the oven light as your guideline for timing. Every time you open the oven to check on your dish, about 25 degrees of heat escape. Turn your oven off about five minutes before the allotted cooking time is up. Leave the door closed to retain heat.
Microwave ovens use approximately half the energy of conventional ovens.
