I have a slow cooking casserole in there? seems a waste of electricity to have oven on for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with an empty shelf.
I have searched my 'getting smaller as I get older' brain
and drawn a blank.
Any ideas welcome:D

I cook baked potatoes usually and then freeze them if we're not using them straight away, then defrost-microwave when needed. Bread rolls usually aswell.One day I might be more organised...........

toomuchmess.....merinques...neber made them. will try that as well
buyitall and lil_me...very good idea...Oven will be full tomorrow, Thank you:j0 -
Some cakes need to be cooked slowly at low temperatures, for example pineapple upside down cake. I also try to use all the space in the cooker, it does make significant savings. Many things can be frozen for use later.
However, it might be worth finding a slow cooker for making casserole, if it's something you make often. They use much less electric than a cooker, so have the potential to save even more energy without you having to make other dishes to fill the cooker.0 -
I love pineapple upside down cake, haven't made that for years!
Slow cooker...I wondered if I should get one. Didn't know they used less energy. Off to find slow cooker recipe threads..0 -
Get yourself comfortable - I'd recommend a nice cup of tea and some chocci biccies - you'll be there a loooong (but very enjoyable) time!
PS I keep meaning to make Twink's hobnobs too, will get on it tomorrow! (Except I'll have to think of a main course to join it in the oven, mmmm best get onto cooking thread!)0 -
I will second the twinks hobnobs suggestion!!! I now have regular orders from DD and work for them so, moral is, you can never make too many!!!
Do the hobnobs and then some Baked Potatoes for another night.:rotfl:0
