Power-saving tips for the kitchen
In the refrigerator, the ideal temperatures are 7 degrees in the upper compartment and -18 degrees Celsius in the freezer. It should also be ensured that no avoidable cold loss is caused by leaving it open for a long time.
When purchasing, you should pay attention to the energy efficiency of the device.
When it comes to the dishwasher, it is important to always fully load it and avoid unnecessary pre-rinsing; coarse leftovers can be removed with cutlery beforehand. In addition, low temperatures, around 50 degrees, also save electricity.
When cooking on the stove, you should pay attention to suitable pans and pots to avoid heat loss. In addition, it saves energy to always heat water with the lid on.
When baking in the oven, convection saves 15 percent compared to top and bottom heat. If possible, it makes sense to bake without preheating and with residual heat.
