ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS
Surface Cooking
Use lids when sudace cooking A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetabte steamer, use it, You'll waste fewer
v[lanfin5, save time and cut energy cosls,
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 _,,'ater as possihIe to reduce cooking time
Oven Cooking
Preheat the o,,en only when a recipe tells you. Put roasqts and casseroles into acold oven',
then turn on the oven,
Opening the oven door o['tea io check on foods wastes energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals, For instance, start a ro_st, add vegelables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then wanu rolls or desert after the main dishes are cooked.
'l'haw frozen foods betore cooking. Thav,'ed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food,
Make it a habit to turn the o's,on off before you removing the cooked food.
