Practical advice

Cooking food always produces steam and occasionally
smoke from the front of the oven.
Smoke and smells can be reduced by always keeping the
oven walls clean.
They can also be reduced by :
- placing a dish containing a little water at the start of
cooking process,
- by using the correct cooking temperature and lowering it
if it appears too hot,
- by preferably using earthenware dishes.
