Cooking If you have an electric stove, turn off the burners before the cooking is finished. It will continue cooking as the burner cools. Large ovens don't cook small meals efficiently, so use those small appliances. Minimize pre-heating when possible. Glass or ceramic oven pans are the most efficient.
Pressure cookers use less energy for stove top cooking because foods cook in less time.
Uncovered pans can use 3 times as much energy as a covered pan to cook the food. Defrost frozen foods before cooking them. Hot Water Use less by installing low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators. Take quick showers. Insulate the hot water pipes.
