Helpful hints

1

Keep flames under the base of pans.  If
the flames lick round the sides of the
pans you are wasting gas.

2

Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.  Do not overfill pans.

3

Cover pans with a lid whenever
possible.  The food will heat up more
quickly and there will be less steam in
the kitchen.

4

Try cooking more than one vegetable in
the same pan, for example potatoes
and carrots.

5

Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.
This way they will cook more quickly.

6

A pressure cooker will save time and
energy.
