Helpful hints
1Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas.
2Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans.
3Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.
4Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.
5Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly.
6A pressure cooker will save time and energy.
