How many times have you tried to limit baking in order not to waste electricity? Why deprive yourself if there are methods to use the oven saving energy? Saving electricity favors the environment as well as our pocket. Here is a guide to cooking in an eco way.

Useful tips

To save energy, it is important to make sure that the oven remains closed as much as possible: do not open and close the oven continuously, evaluate the cooking progress without opening.

When you open the already hot oven to put the product to be cooked, it is important to keep it open as little as possible, perhaps by having someone help us to shorten the time. Make sure that the oven door is not defective: it could disperse a lot of heat.

Avoid preheating the oven as much as possible. Many do not know that this procedure is required only for particular sweets; the other preparations do not need it. The oven overheats quickly, so turn it on and wait at most a minute before cooking any first or second course.

When buying an oven, it is good to choose an efficient oven to save money and energy every day. We choose an appliance with class A. It does not mean that they cost more than the others. Sometimes there are appliances that enjoy incentives.

Cooking intelligently means saving energy: many dishes can be pre-cooked and then completed in the oven. Equally, baked food would not be renounced.

To keep your oven in full efficiency, it is good to clean it regularly with products and techniques that do not compromise the environment. The clean oven lasts longer and wastes less energy. If the time has come to throw the oven in, don’t forget to dispose of it properly.
