Tips for saving energy

Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking

without the lid requires four times as much energy.

Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with

uneven bases increases energy consumption.

The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the

size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are

placed on the hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:

Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the

top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the

base of the pan.

Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full

saucepan requires more energy.

Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It

also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.

Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,

you can switch the hotplate off 5 - 10 minutes before the end

of the cooking time.
