Energy Saving Tips For Home

General Cooking Hints

Using pressure cookers can save not only around 2/3 cooking time but also energy.
Always cover pans with lids to keep the heat inside to save energy.
Shorten the preheating time of ovens as far as possible. Switch off an oven 5 to 10 minutes before cooking is completed. Let the residual heat finish the job.
Cook several dishes simultaneously when using an oven, or cook dishes requiring higher temperature first.
Cooking too early ahead of the meal time wastes energy to reheat or keep warm the food.
Defrost frozen food in the air before cooking.
Use cooking utensils that conduct heat well. Food heats up /cooks faster in pots and pans covered with lids, thus saving energy.
Cook food in appropriate amount to avoid food wastage and save energy.
