9 ways to go green in the kitchen
Cut energy costs with alternative cooking methods
Ease the strain on your AC by getting outside to cook. Grilling is a great method that brings the heat from cooking outside, thus reducing the need to turn up the air conditioning. Outdoor grills also use less energy than your stove.
Better yet, according to Food Network, upgrade to induction cooking. An induction cooker is faster and more energy-efficient than a traditional electric cooking surface. Like gas burners, induction cookers allow instant control of cooking power, and they won’t directly heat the air around the vessel.
