Energy-saving tips
■
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass
lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
■
Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase
energy consumption.
■
The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate
cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers
often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is
usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■
Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible
with your saucepan.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste
energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too
high.
