We can use the oven<\/a> at home many times for many dishes, whether it is summer or winter. It is a helping hand if you need to control your diet because there are many recipes<\/a> to cook with less fat and oil<\/a> but keep all the flavours and nutrients. Sometimes, we don’t know if we should use it because we are not sure how much electricity an oven consumes, even though it is not a home appliance that needs more energy<\/a>. Since\u00a0energy efficiency<\/span><\/strong> is a must at home, we are going through a few tips to save energy while using your <\/span>oven<\/a> and get the most out of it.<\/p>\n

Tips to use the oven and save energy<\/h2>\n

\"Tips<\/p>\n

Take note of these energy-saving tips for using the oven, and feel free to use it whenever you want. The aim here is you use it without wondering if you will lose your 10 years of savings paying an electricity bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure the oven is working well<\/span><\/h2>\n

As you can guess, an oven is made of many\u00a0parts<\/strong>\u00a0to bring the best to your kitchen. Every single part must be in optimal condition for the best performance and efficiency of the oven. We are not telling you to dismantle the oven looking for what is wrong, but it is more than OK to watch your appliance and observe if it is working fine. Check if the door of the oven\u00a0closes<\/strong>\u00a0properly, if there is any obstruction, or if it is not completely closed. Check if the\u00a0thermostat<\/strong>\u00a0and the fan are doing their jobs. If you see something that seems to be wrong, especially in a new oven, check the instructions and the warranty before it gets worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cooking<\/h2>\n

Use the different rack levels<\/h2>\n

Ovens, from\u00a0compacts<\/a> to the big<\/a> ones, have several rack positions on their walls to place the oven\u00a0trays<\/strong>. The latest models use telescopic rails with the trays, and you can find domestic ovens with even five rack levels<\/a>. In almost any kind of oven, you can cook several dishes\u00a0at the same time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Rack<\/p>\n

This means that, if you want to cook\u00a0chicken<\/a>\u00a0and want to make a side dish like roasted\u00a0vegetables<\/a>, you can divide the dishes between\u00a0the top and the bottom<\/strong>\u00a0of the oven. This is a way to use the whole\u00a0capacity<\/strong>\u00a0of the oven while saving energy<\/strong>. Don\u2019t overload it for better performance, though.<\/p>\n

Small portions or thin slices<\/h2>\n

As it happens when cooking veggies if we want to cook something faster, it is a good idea to cut what we need to cook into small portions. The smaller the pieces of food are, the faster they will cook and be ready to serve. If you want to cook a gilthead, for instance, ask your fishmonger to fillet the piece. This will help you save some electricity too.<\/p>\n

\"Cooking<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do not open the oven door all the time<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, we know it is tempting to open it to see if your wonderful dish is ready or not but trust the time and temperature settings<\/strong> of the oven and recipes. This is one of the most common mistakes, and by just watching through the glass door but not opening it<\/strong>, you can save energy with the oven. When you do so, you are losing part of the heat, and the appliance will need more power to reach the temperature again and again. And if you are baking a sponge cake, both of you will suffer the consequences<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"save<\/p>\n

Your friend, the residual heat<\/h2>\n

As you probably know, when the oven<\/a> reaches high temperatures<\/strong>, the heat remains for a few minutes inside when you turn it off. In fact, most of the recipes taste better if you let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Take advantage of the residual heat<\/strong> and, when the recipe is almost over, like 10 minutes before finishing the cooking process<\/strong>, turn it off to use it. Perhaps you need to keep your dishes warm for a while until everybody\u2019s at the table. Then, use the residual heat again as a sort of plate warmer<\/strong> or even to refresh a loaf of bread and make it crunchy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/p>\n

Use clay or ceramics<\/h2>\n

In the old days, our grandmas used ceramics and clay to make those mouthwatering dishes<\/a> like\u2014insert here your favourite baked dish of all time. Don\u2019t keep them in a box in the basement; choose to cook with these materials. Both ceramics and clay reach the\u00a0optimal temperature faster<\/strong>, compared with other materials, and that\u00a0reduces the cooking time<\/strong>. Glass is pretty welcome too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Zucchini<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invest in technology<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s crystal clear. The energy consumption of a new oven<\/a> is not the same as a 30-year-old oven. Energy efficiency<\/strong> in the last generation of ovens, according to the new energy labels<\/a>, is a reality. If you think your oven is asking for retirement, do not think twice. The electricity savings with a new home appliance are obvious on your bill.<\/p>\n

The oven<\/a> is an excellent kitchen assistant, and even more so if you do a couple of things to get the most out of it. Don\u2019t let the electricity consumption<\/strong> of your oven be an obstacle to using it whenever you want to. You can save some energy while using it, but you can also save time: prepare the food, set the time, and go ahead. You can do many other things while your oven<\/a> is cooking for you. And now that you know how to use it efficiently, just grab your apron!<\/p>\n
