Ways to Save Energy

Here are some ways to save energy:

Kitchen

• Look for the Energy Star label when buying appliances.


• Use electric pans or toaster ovens when cooking small amounts of food instead of oven or microwave.


• Fruits and vegatables take less time to cook when they are in smaller peices.


• Foods cook faster and use less energy when they have a lid on them.


• Preheat the oven only when the recipe calls for it. Boilers do not need preheating.


• Save energy by cooking an extra dish or cooking a whole meal in the oven.


• Let hot foods cool down before putting them in the freezer or refridgerator. They work harder and longer having to cool down hot foods.
