– Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A small pan on a
small cooking zone uses less energy
than a large, partially filled pan on a
large cooking zone.
– Use as little water as possible to
cook with.
– Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to the boil or the oil
is hot enough to fry in.
– When cooking for a long time, switch
the cooking zone off about 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. In this way, use is
made of the residual heat.
– Cooking times are greatly reduced
when using a pressure cooker.
