Try to cook more efficiently

  • When cooking in a pot, maximize efficiency by always using a lid.
  • You can also turn off the oven several minutes before the cooking is done as the oven will retain the heat (I wouldn’t do this with sensitive baking)
  • When using your oven to cook a roast, a chicken, meatloaf etc. save turning on the cook top elements by also using the heat already in the oven to bake potatoes and some vegetables
  • In the cooler months, when I finish with the oven and have turned it off, I open the oven door to let the heat into the house.  Why waste the oven heat?
Can you think of any other ways to cook more efficiently??
