|
| Solution: |
| There are more appliances and traffic in your kitchen than any other room in your house, I have steps that you can take to help your kitchen run more efficiently and save yourself some money! |
| |
|
| 1.
When you're baking, if you use glass or ceramic pans you can generally set the temperature twenty-five degrees lower than a recipe calls for! |
| |
| 2.
Don't open the oven to check the food more than necessary. Twenty five percent of the heat in the oven is lost when you open the door. |
| |
| 3.
You can also turn your oven off about ten minutes before the end of cooking time to save yourself some dough. |
| |
| 4.
When cooking on the stovetop, cover pans. It takes almost twice as long to boil a pot of water without a cover, and that's just wasteful! |
| |
| 5.
If you don't need your stove exhaust fan in the winter, don't use it. It's just sending heated air up and out of the house! |
| |
| 6.
As for the fridge, don't put it directly beside a heat source and make sure that there is space on both sides so it has room to breathe. It will be more efficient and last longer! |
| |
| 7.
Make sure you clean behind and underneath your refrigerator at least twice a year, dust and dirt build-up makes the machine work harder than it needs to. |
