If you follow a few simple rules in the kitchen, you can cut power consumption by 50 percent when cooking without making any major purchases:
- Always heat water in an electric kettle
- Always use the saucepan with a lid and, after boiling, reduce the power on the stove.
- Use appliances such as egg cookers and coffee machines, as well as the microwave oven for small quantities and short cooking times.
- Use the coffee maker and thermos flask. A coffee machine that brews directly into the thermos flask is ideal.
