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. |
