Energy saving tips

l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids.

lCook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.

l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

lStart food on higher heat settings, and then set surface burner control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

l Use the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possible.
