ENERGY SAVING TIPS
When buying pots, be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge
of the pot, which is often larger than the bottom;
Steam-pressure pots, which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially
economic, and saves both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins in
food;
Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating
which may damage both the pot and the appliance;
Always cover pots with lids of appropriate size;
Use adequate pot size according with the quantity of food to be prepared.
