- Keep that door closed! Tempted to peek in the oven to check out those baked treats you've been making? Every time you open the door and peek into the oven, the temperature can drop 25 F! As a result, your oven uses more energy to bring the temperature back up. Avoid wasting energy by using the oven light or a timer.😉 P.S. keep your oven window clean!! 🧽🧼

Happy Friday and end of week 8!! 🎉
