Tips on saving energy
Use good quality saucepans and pots with thick,
even bases.
Select the correct saucepan size for each cooking
zone. The diameter of the bases of the saucepans
and pots should match the size of the cooking zone.
Note: Ovenware manufacturers often give the
diameter of the top of the saucepan. It is usually
larger than the diameter of the base of the
saucepan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires more energy.
Saucepans and pots should always be covered with
a suitable lid to shorten cooking times. Cooking
without a lid requires much more energy.
Cook with small quantities of water. This saves
energy and helps vegetables to retain vitamins and
minerals.
Switch down to a lower heat setting in good time.
For longer cooking times you can switch off the
cooking zone before the end of the cooking time
and then use the residual heat.
