Cut energy costs in the kit-chen With the cost of energy constantly risiag, consumers are tyriag to concentrate their efforts towards coniserv- ing energy in daily household activities. "La the kitchea. alone there are maay routines that can be changed to cut the use of energy", say food ý,ecialists at the Ontario Al Council, Miistry of XAjgriculture and Food. For example, every time the refrigerator or freezer door is )pened, additional energy is burned. Tiie cold air lost from inside theseapplian- ces must be made up in order. that the proper temperature is maintained. Thus, the appliances use more eaergy. So avoid opening the fridge and freezer unnecessarily. Above ail, don't leave the door open while you decide what you are going to take out for dinner. Avoid freezing large amounts of food at one time. if you purchase a side of beef or other large portion of meat, have the butcher treeze it for you and t hen store it in your home freezer. Not oaly does your freezer work much harder when freezing large quantities of food, but the quality of the frozen food could be lowered. For best utilization of the eaergy required to maintain your freezer, keep it at least th ree-quarters fuIL.operating a freezer with oaly a few items la it adds immeasely f0 the cost of that food.
