Saving energy with the hob

Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven
■
bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of pan bases should be the same size
■
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the
hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware
manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of
the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the
diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
■
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When
■
cooking without a lid, four times the energy is
required.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.
■
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you
■
can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
