ENERGY-SAVING
IDEAS
Surface
Cooking
Use lids when surthce
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
costs.
Use medium-weight,
flat bottomed
pans that match the flame size. Choose
pans made of
metals
that conduct
heat well.
When cooking
on a surface
burner,
use as little water as possible
to reduce cooking
time.
Oven
Cooking
Preheat
the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts
and casseroles
into a cold oven;
then turn on the oven.
Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.
Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food.
Make it a habit to turn the oven off bet'ore removing
the cooked
food.
