Tips for saving energy

Please bear in mind the following tips for energy-
saving cooking:
▯
Always use a lid that fits the pot. This significantly
shortens heat-up time.
▯
Use high-quality cookware with thick, even
bottoms. Uneven bottoms of pots increase energy
consumption.
▯
Choose cookware that fits the amount of food
being prepared. Large, half-empty cookware
wastes a lot of energy.
▯
The circumference of the cookware should match
the size of the cooking zone. Please note:
Manufacturer specifications for pot
circumference normally refer to the upper
diameter. This is generally larger than the pot
bottom.
▯
Cook with little water. This saves energy and also
this preserves the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Use the residual heat of the cooking zones to
keep food warm.
