Tips for saving energy
▯
Always use a correctly fitting lid for the
pan.Cooking without the lid requires four times as
much energy. A glass lid allows you to observe
the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
▯
Use pots and pans with level bases. Using
cookware with unlevel bases increases energy
consumption.
▯
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan
should match the size of the hotplate. In
particular, if pots that are too small are placed on
a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the
diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually
bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
▯
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A
large saucepan containing little food requires
more energy.
▯
Use only a little water when cooking. This will
save energy. It also preserves vitamins and
minerals in vegetables.
▯
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as
possible.
▯
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer
cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as
early as 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
