In the kitchen
These tips will help you save energy and water in the kitchen:
- Run your dishwasher only when it’s full.
- Clean the condenser coils on the back of your fridge.
- Make sure the fridge door fits tight and replace damaged seals.
- Allow foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator.
- Use pots with tight fitting lids - the food cooks faster. And use pans that match the size of the burner.
- Use a microwave oven when possible.
- Don't open the oven door to peek at cooking food.
- Electric kettles use less energy than boiling water on the stove.
- Use reflector foils or pans under electric stove elements to reflect heat.
