Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:

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

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

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

l Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner control on low to finish cooking.

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

l Turn on the surface burner only after placing filled pan on the burner grate.
