SAVING ENERGY
Everybody who properly uses energy not only saves money but also
consciously acts in aid of the natural environment. So let’s save electric
energy by:
●
Using proper cookware.
Pots and pans with flat and thick bottoms will let you save up to one-third of electric energy.
Remember about the lid as otherwise the consumption of energy quadruples!
●
Matching cookware to the size of the hotplate.
A cooking pot should never be smaller than the used hotplate.
●
Maintaining hotplates and pot bottoms clean.
Dirt obstructs the transfer of heat – heavily burnt food residuals can often be cleaned only
with chemicals harmful to the natural environment.
●
Avoiding necessary “peeping into pots”.
●
Switching off hotplates at the right moment and using the residual heat.
When cooking for a long time, switch off the hotplate 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cook-
ing as thus you can save up to 20% of electric energy.
●
Not using the plate near refrigerators / freezers.
As the consumption of energy unnecessary rises.
