This week is Energy Saving Week, but as it is also National Baking Week, I will be trying to do both.
This will produce some problems in that baking obviously uses energy, but if I make the best use of that energy then I will be saving in the longterm.
Other energy saving ideas I have are:
to use the slow cooker more.
double up recipes more so that the intial cooking is done in one go, then it is only a reheat.
batch cook and freeze things like tomato sauce which can be used for any pasta dish or chilli.
make sure the freezer has enough items in it to make it run efficiently, even if this is old milk cartons etc filled with water.
ensure that all unused lights/appliances are switched off on the wall.
use the timer more with the washing machine and dishwasher to maske use of Economy 7 electricity.
charge the mobiles from the usb connections on the computer rather than plugging into the wall.
