Energy Saving
The following advice is to help you save energy.
When using your oven:
•
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe.
•
Keep the pre-heating time short.
•
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible.
•
Use black enamelled baking trays, tins etc., as they absorb the heat well.
•
If you need to cook, bake, or roast a number of different foods then it is best to
do this one after the other. The oven will be at temperature, reducing the need
to pre-heat the oven again.
•
Cook more than 1 item at a time using the different accessories provided.
•
Do not overcook your food; this will only elongate the cooking time.
•
Remember to turn off the oven once cooking is completed.
When using your hob:
•
Use cookware that has a flat base, as this distributes heat to your food quickly
and more evenly.
•
Use the appropriate size hob zone for the size of your pan e.g. do not use the
large hob zone for a small pan. This only wastes energy.
•
Use a lid on your cookware to keep in heat.
•
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat in your cooking.
•
If you’re heating liquids on the hob, once the liquid starts to boil, reduce the
heat setting.
