Though energy-efficient tools are crucial, your cooking style also influences energy consumption. Lids help keep heat in pans and pots, which lowers the energy required to maintain the desired temperature. Using the correct-size pot for your stove burner helps to improve energy efficiency.

A pot that fits well maximises heat transfer, while a tiny pot on a big stove loses heat. Batch cooking or slow cooking uses less energy over time than conventional cooking. These little changes can significantly affect energy use. A pressure or slow cooker can also help reduce cooking time and energy use even more, so they are perfect for energy-efficient meal preparation.
