Things you can do to minimize the electricity consumption in the kitchen

• Your kitchen appliances could be the primary sources of energy consumption.
• Cook several dishes together in the oven to maximize energy consumption
• The microwave uses approximately 80 percent less electricity than a conventional electric oven. For this reason, you should heat up your vegetables, soups, and sauces in the microwave.
• When you open the oven, the temperature goes down and increases the cooking time and energy consumed, therefore, it is better to check your meals through the oven window instead of opening it.
• Fill the dishwasher before starting it.
• Put the lids on the pots when boiling water or cooking on the stove. This cooks the food more rapidly.
• A few minutes before the cooking time ends, turn off the oven. In this way, you will save some minutes of electric consumption because the oven will keep enough heat to continue cooking your food.
• Before storing the food, let the food cool outside.
• Try to open the refrigerator door only when it is necessary.
