Easy ways to save energy
• When heating large quantities of liquid for foods
such as pasta or soup, cover with a lid to help
shorten cooking time.
• Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time possible.
• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
