Energy saving tips
Atthough 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 grease 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 nstead 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 the oven.
l
Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.
. 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.
l
Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat
reflection.
