Beware of opening an oven door
while it is still cooking; it may cause the temperature to drop 25 to 30
and take considerable energy to reheat; this uses more energy and it
takes longer for the food to be cooked
Help the stove work more
efficiently
To keep your stove working
efficiently, wash the pans under the burners on a regular basis.
Choose the proper fan
When purchasing a stovetop fan,
be careful not to choose a fan too large for its intended use, or it
could waste energy and send smoke and food-smell all over the house.
A gas stove with an electric
igniter will save you twice as much on the energy bill over an electric
stove.
Leave space in the oven for
the heat to circulate
To maximize the efficiency of
an oven, leave space for air to circulate between items being cooked and
avoid laying aluminum foil directly on the racks since this will cause
the heat to go-around its target.
