Green is The Word, Act XVII

Friiiiiiiiiiiiiday, Good Friday!!!

Anyone out there enjoy cooking for themselves?
MICHAEL?! HA! Well, for those culinary types amongst
us, here is some info to help green your way through
the process.

When you're cooking on the stovetop, observe three
simple rules of thumb to improve energy efficiency.
First, use the smallest pot or pan you can. There's no
need to use the largest frying pan you own when only
scrambling one egg.

Second, keep those flames to a minimum if not needed.
If the circumference of the flames is greater than
that of your pan, you're leaking unused heat into the
air.

And third (ah, that beloved Trinity again!), don't be
burner-happy. For example, if cooking ravioli, wait
for the ravioli to finish. When it's done, take it off
the stove to drain and replace that pan with the pan
containing the sauce. This way you're only using one
burner and not wasting energy heating up another one.
If possible, you could even use the pan which
previously held the ravioli to heat the sauce,
thereby eliminating one more pan to wash.

Get it? Got it? Gooooooood Friday!!!
