How to save energy consumption during the cooking process?

Weather of Arabia - Energy in its various forms has become one of the basic things on which human life depends in all its aspects, so it has become necessary to work on rationalizing energy at the level of individuals and countries, with its global prices rising.

The following lines address tips to rationalize energy consumption when cooking:

• When cooking food over a fire, the utensils must be covered; As this contributes to faster maturation of the food, and if the utensils are not covered, it will lead to an increase in the time that the food needs to ripen three times the time that the food takes while it is covered.

• It is recommended to cut off the power supply minutes before the end of the cooking process, if you use electric power to cook; The remaining heat is enough to complete the cooking process.

• Choose cooking utensils whose diameter is commensurate with the gas springs, as this reduces the percentage of heat loss by about 50%.

• Using a "pressure cooker" in the cooking process saves 40-60% of the time, which means saving energy.

• Finally, it is recommended to remove the food from the refrigerator a quarter to a third of an hour before cooking or heating.
