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 Match the pan to the surface unit size.
l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
l Preheat pans only when recommended
and for the shortest time possible.
l Start food on higher heat settings, then
set surface unit control on low or off to
finish cooking. Use retained heat for
cooking when possible.
l Use the more efficient surface units
instead of the oven when possible.
l Turn on the surface unit only after placing
filled pan on the unit.
l “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking results. Rely on your timer to keep
track of the cooking time.
l Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time to bake is right after a
meal has been cooked in oven.
l Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.
l Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the range. When using the oven to cook
one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in
it also.
l Do not preheat when broiling, roasting, or
cooking items such as casseroles.
