Energy saving tips from area home economist

Ann Turnage shares practical energy saving advice for kitchens. Plan oven meals and preheating sparingly. Use appropriate pots, tight lids, and minimal water. Thaw frozen foods, start on high heat then reduce, and cook multiple dishes together when possible to cut energy use. Consider glass or ceramic cookware on a conventional range to lower heat. A pressure pan saves time and energy.
