Energy Saving Cooking Tips

Use microwaves to defrost, cook, and re-heat food instead of an oven.

Don't block microwave vents.

Turn off coffee machines when not in use and use small appliances for small tasks, such as a toaster instead of an oven.

Make sure the seals in the oven fit properly.

Keep lids on pots when cooking. While baking, do not open the oven; consider using the light instead.

Keep microwaves and ovens clean and well maintained to work most efficiently.
