Oven

Here’s how to save:

• See if there are other ways to cook first:
  
  • The microwave is five to ten times more efficient if you can use it instead
  • Can you use a slow cooker or the hob – or even the grill?
     
• Use the smaller oven
  If you have a top and bottom oven, use the smaller one if practical. It will use less energy.
   
• If you are grilling, some grills let you power up one side only. This saves half the electricity.
   
• Keep the door shut. Every time you open the door it wastes heat. If the seals are leaking around the door, it is worth getting them replaced.
