Helpful hints
1  | Keep flames under the base of 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.  |
