When all the factors are taken into consideration cooking by gas is the cheapest method of cooking. Fuel is only used dur ing the actual process of cooking, and is under absolute control all the time so that just the right amount of heat can be given to
each dish.
The gas in the oven can often be turned off before the cook- ing is quite completed as sufficient heat is retained to finish off, for example, milk puddings and casserole dishes.
It is wasteful to keep the gas alight until these dishes are ready for table, and to leave the empty oven slowly to cool down, when say 15 minutes use of gas might be saved.
Taps control the gas; you control the tape."
