We often forget to add the cost ttt:ttte energy we use» in preparing our -lood to the weekly Tood biii, Yet a full 30% ot the energy required, to support our food system is consumed in the home. . The oven is the most en- ergy wasteful way to cook. This is because not only the food but the entire oven ca- vity must be heated, There is also substantial heat loss through the walls and door. lfyoudousetheoven.then make good use of the heat by cooking a “total" oven meal. When possible, adapt foods usually cooked in the oven to the top of the stove. e An electric trypal. when it is full; uses less elec- _ tricity than cooking the same quantity on the stove.

A microwave oven uses The most energy efficient way of washing clothes is to take a bar of soap down to the river's edge and scrub away. Clearly. few Cana- dians are prepared to go to this length to save energy. The biggest cost item in washing clothes is the Hot water. So whether you‘re hand-washing in asink or using an automatic washing machine, cutting down on the hot water saves energy. Make the most of the en- ergy used to run your wash- ing machine by operating it only when you have a full load. When this is not pos- sible, save water by using the correct water lével set- ting for the size of the load.

In both cases. the larger the amount of water. the more energy is required to reach boiling point. _ To, d the Stage _ . A 1. Use the highest heat setting to reach the desired temperature and then turn to the lowest setting that will maintain that tempera- ture. However. if letting your clothes air dry is not feasi- ble, then use your clothes dryer in an energy saving manner: - Use the shortest appro- priate cycle to not only save energy but to prevent clothes from overdrying. - Dry a full load each time you turn the dryer on to make good use of the heat produced. (But avoid over- loading). - Clean your lint filter after each load to reduce drying time. At least once a year, clean the outside of the dryer drum. the motor. and exhaust pipes to get rid of lint build-up. use a solar heated, wind- driven clothes dryer. or, as it is more commonly known - a clothesline. 2. A pressure cooker saves time and energy. Use it for stews, soups, pot roasts and almost all ymttvegetatries. 3.

Excep- tions are some ovens in which the broiler element comes on during the pre- heating cycle. In such cases. the top crust of bake goods may be burned if the pre- heating cycle is eliminated. t Leave theAd on for tar. ter m. - _ _ " Us: the minimum amount of water possible.
