Smaller Appliances save money over Large Ovens

Saving energy is not all about cutting down on using appliances. Many times it is about using things more wisely. One example is cutting your energy use by not using your large oven for little warm ups. Heating food with a large oven is one of the least efficient ways to heat food. Using your kitchen wisely like this may be able to save you 75% off your kitchens energy usage.

Stoves work by heating up an area. Anything within that area gets hot, including the Empty Space.

Smaller appliances are made for quick and easy heating. The reason these appliances are so great is that they are made to specifically heat food. A microwave used to heat a bowl of soup will cut down on energy costs over putting a pot on the stove top. Microwaves can be used not only to reheat, but defrost. Toaster ovens are our personal favorite because nearly everything you can do in a big oven, you can do in these handy things. Heating up that piece of pizza takes less time and less energy. Some other items to consider is and electric kettle and electric fry pan.

Less time in the oven means more money in your pocket!
