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. |
