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.
