Tips for saving energy
■
Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.Cooking without
the lid requires four times as much energy. A glass lid allows
you to observe the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
■
Use pots and pans with level bases. Using cookware with
unlevel bases increases energy consumption.
■
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are
placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the
top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
■
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large
saucepan containing little food requires more energy.
■
Use only a little water when cooking. This will save energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
■
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
