Use lids when cooking to save energy
Filed Under Green Tips | Trackback
Ever noticed how things tend to boil over when you put a lid on the saucepan? that’s because you probably don’t adjust the heat down when you put the lid on. You can use a smaller burner or lower temperature if you cook with the lids on saucepans. This is particularly true if you are boiling water for paste, rice etc. The added benefit is when something is simmering, there’s no chance of splattering all over the cooktop if the lid is in place. Less cleaning up is always a positive.
