• When buying cookware be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually
refers to the top edge of the dish, which is often larger than the dish bottom.
• Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use pressure in tightly sealed
interior, are especially economic, and save both time and energy. Shorter
cooking time leaves more vitamins in food.
• Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result
in overheating which may damage both the pot and the hotplate.
• Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.
• Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared. If
you use excessively large pot for small amount of food, you will consume
considerably more energy.
