Helpful hints

                              

1   

 Keep flames under the base of the 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.
