Cooking

Wednesday, 24 September 2008

Salads rather than cooked veg saves energy. Use the microwave whenever you can Put the lid on the saucepan Many dishes don’t need to be boiled – noodles, pasta, rice will almost or completely cook just by having boiling water poured over them When you use the oven or grill, it costs no more to cook a full load than to cook just one item of food - cook in bulk and then freeze it for later Use the leftovers – it saves cooking new food and saves money Using an oven on a cold day heats the house – on warm days this “free” heat is wasted.
