Savor energy savings in the kitchen
10 penny-pinching tips from Progress Energy Florida to save money and electricity in the kitchen
Cooking up energy savings in the kitchen can be quicker and easier than clipping coupons. Energy-savvy cooks can whip up economical meals while reducing energy use and lowering their monthly electric bill with these simple tips from Progress Energy Florida:
4. Shorten the cooking time and save energy by using tight-fitting covers on pots and pans.
9. Shop in bulk and stock up during sales to keep your freezer full. A full freezer uses less energy than an empty one. For maximum savings, consider filling your freezer with containers of water when space permits.
