Put your stove on a Carbon diet



  • The stove is the hungriest appliance in your whole home.  When using, double up and put bread in with your lasagna.
  • Use a saucepan lid when cooking and turn the stove off five minutes before your food is suppose to be done.  He already collected heat will complete the job.
  • Open the oven when done and allow the heat to heat your home for the evening.
  • If you are buying a new oven or new home, opt for a gas stove as they are the most energy efficient (and if the power goes out, it will still work!)  Also look for the EnergyStar brands!
  • Invest in a pressure cooker, they reduce gas expenditure used for cooking by up to 50%.  Better yet, look for a Cobb oven (pictured above), which requires no electricity or gas! www.cobbamerica.com $139.00
