Use a toaster oven for smaller meals and snacks, you’ll use a third to half as much energy as your regular oven uses.
Still need to use a conventional oven, like for baking a cake (for Beth’s birthday today – JH)? No need to preheat as many recipes suggest. And try turning off the oven 10 to 15 minutes before you finish cooking. Food will continue to cook without using extra electricity.
