Cooking Appliance
- Use induction cookers as they are more energy efficient than electric stoves.
- Choose energy efficient induction cookers or gas cookers. Induction cookers or gas cookers with "Grade 1" energy label are the most energy efficient.
- Using fan-forced electric ovens can save more energy than conventional electric ovens.
- Use multi-jet cookers/ovens as their versatility can minimize energy wastage.
- Adjust the stove flame to fit the bottom of a cooking pan. Flame going up the sides of a pan wastes energy and will not increase the cooking efficiency.
- Using simmer burners to heat up food in casseroles or use slow-cook pots can save energy.
- Use cooking appliances with higher energy efficiency like microwave ovens or toaster ovens for cooking and heating food in small quantities.
- Choose energy efficient microwave ovens and electric rice cookers, such as those with an energy label.
- Using electric pots for boiling water are more energy saving than stoves.
- Boil water in volume to just meet the consumption needs. Store any surplus hot water into a thermal pot. Avoid using the keep-warm function of an electric pot.
- Keep cooking burner clean to maintain optimum efficiency in fuel combustion.
