Tips for saving energy

▯
Use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven
bottoms increase energy consumption.
▯
For small amounts, use a small pot. A large pot
that isn't very full requires a lot of energy.
▯
Always cover pots with a lid that fits. When
cooking without a lid, you need four times more
energy.
▯
Cook with little water. This saves energy. The
vitamins and minerals in vegetables are
preserved.
▯
Switch promptly back to a lower setting for
cooking.
