Tips on saving energy
Please observe the following tips on saving energy:
▯
Saucepans and pots should always be covered with a
suitable lid to shorten cooking times.
▯
Use good quality saucepans and pots with thick, even
bases. Using cookware with uneven bases increases
energy consumption.
▯
The size of the cookware should correspond to the
amount of the food to be prepared. Large pots which
are only half full waste enery.
▯
The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and pots
should match the size of the cooking zone. Note:
ovenware manufacturers often give the diameter of
the top of the saucepan. It is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
▯
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy.
It also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
▯
Use the residual heat of the cooktop to keep food
warm.
