ENERGY GUIDELINES (GB IE ONLY)
Reducing the environmental impact of cooking
Reducing energy consumption will reduce the impact of cooking on the environment.
You can reduce energy consumption by:
●
Thawing frozen foods in the refrigerator first
●
Using a moderate setting to conserve gas
●
Having your burners adjusted by a qualified technician if the flame is yellow
●
Ensuring burner parts are clean and dry, as clogged ports will reduce efficiency.
●
Using the correct sized pot
●
Adjusting the flame correctly – the flame should not extend beyond the edge of the pot
●
Using a pressure cooker
●
Cutting food into smaller pieces - this will reduce cooking time
●
Use a steamer or a pan with a divider to cook different vegetables at the same time
●
Using a cover when boiling water to reduce the time it takes to get to the boil.
●
Simmering liquid cooked foods instead of boiling vigorously
●
Keeping pot lids on to reduce heat loss
