Whether pasta or baby food - if you use the right appliances and pots, you will end up with more money in your household budget: with little effort and great effect. For example, use the pressure cooker for dishes with long cooking times such as stews, potato dishes and braised meat - with 50 percent less energy. And you can heat baby food in the microwave in less than a minute. The toaster conjures up crispy bread rolls for breakfast with its bread roll attachment. Energy saving advantage: 70 percent compared to the oven! And the eggs end up in the kettle, which requires significantly less energy and water. Another tip: don't preheat the oven - you'll save up to 31 euros a year if you preheat it for 12 minutes every 200 days.
