How To Shop For A More Energy Efficient Cooker

When start to shop around for a new eco friendly cooker

, there is now a variety of useful ways to spot which cookers and ovens are the most energy efficient. Most product manufacturers now carry energy efficiency information for all of their new products online, so you can easily compare products like for like.

When you look around the stores, you will notice that new cooker models now come with a European Union Energy sticker. This label means that the product has passed energy tests and the label will show a rating of the energy efficiency of the cooker on a scale from A through to G. A ratings are given to cookers that are most energy efficient. This new labelling system makes it far simpler for consumers to spot the most energy efficient products.

Keep an eye out for hobs and ovens that come with a Energy Saving Recommended label. This means that the oven has been given the EST seal of approval and has an efficiency rating of at least 60 percent.

Check out the Energy Saving Trust website. There you will find a complete list of the new hobs and ovens that have been approved by the EST. You can also compare cookers side by side on the website, making it simple for you to see the most energy efficient models.

Think about your cooker use and the features that you really require from your new model. The latest cookers now come equipped with more hob rings, wok burners, several oven compartments and other features than ever before. Some even come with built in TV screens. Of course, all of this will use extra energy, so think carefully about how often you really cook, what you cook, and how many features you really need your new cooker to have before you splash out on a huge new cooker range.

If you are thinking of buying a new cooker, then the chances are you have an old cooker that you want to get rid of. Instead of simply chucking your old cooker out to landfill, call your council and find out if they have the facilities to recycle household appliances. Provided that your old model still works, you can also ask local charities who may resell household appliances. Or you can find it a new home via websites such as Freecycle and Freeshare.
