Just the Tip:

Keep The Oven Door Closed

OPENING THE OVEN DOOR WHILE COOKING ALLOWS A LOT OF HEAT TO ESCAPE Anywhere from 10°-200° can escape from your oven every time you open the door (depending on how long you keep it open obviously).  Escaping heat is a big cause of failures in the kitchen.  It screws up the steady cook and integrity of what you're making, not to mention the timing.

Keeping that door closed saves you time and energy or gas as well, so it's being a little more green too.

Long and short of the tip: Use the window of the oven.  That's what it's there for.
