Energy Saving
The following advice is to help you save energy.
When using your oven:
• Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe.
• Keep the pre-heating time short.
• Open the oven door as infrequently as possible.
• Use black enamelled baking trays, tins etc., as they absorb the heat well.
• If you need to cook, bake, or roast a number of different foods then it is best to
do this one after the other. The oven will be at temperature, reducing the need
to pre-heat the oven again.
• Cook more than 1 item at a time using the different accessories provided.
• Do not overcook your food; this will only elongate the cooking time.
• Remember to turn off the oven once cooking is completed.
When using your hob:
• Use cookware that has a flat base, as this distributes heat to your food quickly
and more evenly.
• Use the appropriate size hob zone for the size of your pan e.g. do not use the
large hob zone for a small pan. This only wastes energy.
• Use a lid on your cookware to keep in heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat in your cooking.
• If you’re heating liquids on the hob, once the liquid starts to boil, reduce the
heat setting.
