5. Energy saving advice

 Use proper cookware for cooking.
 Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 of electric
energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible;
otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
 Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating
plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating
plate.
 Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
 Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages
can often be removed by products, which will damage the
environment, only.
 Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-
content will never boil!).
 Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking
temperature is reached.
 Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
Top Heat
 Minimize the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten
cooking times.
 Select a high power level, when you start cooking. Reduce
the power level, when your food has been heated up.
 For long cooking times: Switch off the cooking zones 5 to 10
minutes before you will finish cooking. This saves up to 20%
of energy.
 You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones for
saving energy when starting a new cooking procedure on a
cooking zone which is still warm / hot.
 Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
 Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the
residual heat.
 Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
 Meat of up to 1 kg can be cooked more economically in a pan
on the hob.
 Make use of the residual heat of the oven.
 If the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes, switch off
the oven 10 minutes before.
 For baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat
better and shorten the baking time.
 Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
 Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean
up any spillages immediately.
