ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
SURFACE COOKING
Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste fewer
vitamins, save time and cut energy cost.
Use medium-weight, flat bottom pans the match the flame size. Choose pan made of
metals that conduct heat well.
When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as ossible too reduce cooking time.
OVEN COOKING
Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roast and casseroles into a cold oven:
then turn on the oven.
Opening the door too often to check on food waste energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when
the meat os half-cooked, and then warm rolls or desert after the main dishes are cooked.
Thaw frozen food before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking enerfy than frozen
food.
Make it a habit to turn the oven off before removing the cooked food.
