Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
•
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,
and tight-fitting lids.
•
Match the pan to the surface unit size.
•
Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
•
Preheat pans only when recommended
and for the shortest time possible.
•
Start food on higher heat settings, then set
surface unit control on low or off to finish
cooking. Use retained heat for cooking
when possible.
•
Turn on the surface unit only after placing
filled pan on the unit.
•
Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the cooktop.
