Those who usually go shopping have noticed that prices are much more expensive. Not to mention water, gas, electricity and even telecom operators whose prices will increase next month. That’s why we have to save where we can. That said, if we manage to adopt these habits little by little and after a few weeks make this the rule, we will be able to reduce the gas and electricity bill by preparing meals.
Reduce gas and electricity bills when preparing meals!
In fact, there are some things that we don’t know and others that we even know but because we don’t remember we don’t execute. However, it is really worth betting on them. After a year, the difference is significant.
The first three relate directly or indirectly to the slaughterhouse.
One of the things that makes the fridge consume more energy is when you leave the door open for a while. If it’s the freezer, the damage can be even greater. It starts to form ice and then we’re going to have to keep the door open for a long time to remove it.
So before opening the fridge door, think about what you need to remove first. This way you avoid leaving it open for a long time.
Another important issue is to keep the refrigerator away from heat sources. Likewise, do not place hot food inside. It’s just that otherwise he’ll have to work harder to keep the cool temperature inside as it was.
However, you should always defrost food in advance and I am not talking about taste issues. Otherwise we will have to use running water and in some cases the microwave. In other words, an even higher expense.
The other three tips are more related to the stove. This is in order to save gas.
It is therefore very important to have all the ingredients that you will need for cooking immediately at hand, preferably already cut, before lighting the stove.
Another important thing if you have the opportunity is to cook in a pressure cooker. This way you not only save time but also energy!
There is yet another important detail that you should pay attention to. Cover pots and pans whenever you are cooking to avoid heat loss from the stove.
In addition, cook only with the water you need and reuse it at the end.
Finally, there are two more important tips regarding meals
Choose to use the microwave instead of the oven and spend 60% less energy. Finally put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher instead of washing them by hand. In fact, several people tend to pre-wash the dishes before putting them in the machine. However, this is not necessary.
It’s just that the detergents we use nowadays are really powerful and do the job of cleaning really well. This pre-wash will only use electricity and gas unnecessarily.
