For top-of-the-range cooking, high heat should be used only to bring a liquid to a boil. After boiling begins, then the lowest heat setting should be selected to maintain boiling or simmering. Applying additional heat will only make it boil faster, but not cook faster. Once a liquid begins to boil, its temperature will not increase no matter how much heat is added.
Defrost food first. Frozen foods require more energy than completely thawed foods, whether you are cooking in the oven, under the broiler, or on top of the range. (A roast that has been defrosted requires 33 percent less cooking time than one that is still frozen.)
Rather than using the oven for preparing small quantities of food, consider cooking in one of the small, portable, electric appliances, such as a frying pan, grill, or toaster/broiler. On the average, these use only about one-third the electric power of the oven broiler.
Use pot lids that fit
Use a small pot on a small element, and a large pot on a large element
Cook food on the elements instead of in the oven
Microwaves cook food faster
Make sure fridge and freezer doors are properly closed
Dont overload the fridge or freezer, also avoid using deep freezer all the time.
Cool foods down quickly before putting in the fridge or freezer
When the oven is on, cook several items. For example, a casserole, muffins, home-made muesli and baked potatoes
Electric frying pans can be used for all sorts of cooking. They are cheaper to run than the oven
Always use the flat surface pans, heat distributes equally and cooks food much faster than curve shaped pans.
Just before your food is cooked completely, turn off the oven or burner and allow the heat in the pot or pan to continue the cooking process for you.
Use as little liquid as possible to conserve both energy and food nutrients.
Cutting food such as potatoes, other vegetables and meat into small pieces will decrease their cooking time.
Use pressure cookers and microwave ovens if you have them. They can save energy by reducing cooking time.
Plan one-pot meals to save on cooking and cleanup.
Water will boil faster in a kettle or covered pan.
