The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the home. With the washing machine, oven, tumble dryer not to mention the myriad of appliances and gadgets the kitchen is also one of the most power hungry areas of the home too.
Saving energy in the kitchen can, therefore, save us both money and energy, but it doesn't mean we have to dispose of all the appliances and gadgets that make twenty-first century cooking and washing far less a chore.
There are some great modern eco-friendly kitchen products that not only make things easier in the kitchen they can save energy and money too.
Eco kettles are a great example as the kettle is one of the most used appliances around the home. Most people enjoy a good cuppa but that repeated boiling of the kettle can be done far more efficiently.
Eco kettles boil only the exact amount of water required so save energy as the kettle doesn't have to boil excess water. One cup kettles are also available and are incredibly fast at providing one cup full of hot water.
Energy in cooking can also be saved. Electric ovens can take quite some time to get to the right temperature, all the time using energy as they slowly heat up. Halogen ovens on the other hand are hot straight away and as you don't have to wait for the elements to get hot you can begin cooking straight away saving time too.
As for gas, while it heats up a lot quicker than electricity, gas burners are still not an efficient method of cooking. They can, however, be fitted with gas energy savers that affect the flow of gas so less is used on the hob saving both money and CO2.
