Diane,
Good point! I posted on eating raw veggies a while back, but I was mostly thinking about conserving MY energy, not the stove’s! Katie

How about ‘eat raw food’ as another tip? So much food can be washed, peeled and enjoyed as is. Eating raw food usually gets you more nutrients, too.

Fabulous tips. We’ve just started using dry beans exclusively which creates a “how much to cook” question. Never considered making multiple-weeks worth and freezing. Thanks.

Great tips. I never understand how people can boil without the lid on either.

Great tips! I have been trying to learn “hyper cooking.”

The one thing I have an issue with is opening the oven, our oven doesn’t have a window so it’s the only way to check, I hate it!

There’s a great book about conserving energy in the kitchen called the Big Green Cookbook. Check out my review of it here: http://mindfulmomma.typepad.com/mindful_momma/2009/08/conserving-in-the-kitchen-with-the-big-green-cookbook.html.html

Hold on. You do your chicken stock for 24 hours? I do mine for 3. Will it be better if it stays on longer?
