Optimise your oven use

If you’re turning your oven on for one thing, see if you can use the rest of the space to batch cook something for a meal on another day. Get used to how long your oven takes to heat up so you’re ready to pop food in straight away without wasting heat.

Think about the Washing up

Don’t wash up under a running tap. Use a washing-up bowl and fill it up as needed for the level of washing up you have. If it’s just a few plates and cups, a third to a half of the bowl is all that’s needed.

Boiling the kettle

Only fill the kettle with as much water as is needed and make sure to boil it once to save you money, energy and time.
