I turn off the cooker and hob a wee while before food is cooked as the temperature in the frying pan/saucepan/oven will continue to cook food fow a few minutes afterwards.
I also keep some large bottles of mineral water in the fridge rather than energy be wasted by the fridge having to cool the incoming air when opening the fridge door.
Do you save more by putting bottles of mineral water in the fridge, than the cost of buying them in the first place?Quote:

I went a step further and I now live in a tent in the garden. The bulldozers are coming next week to demolish the house, so I can have more space for free footie kick abouts.Quote:

Leave the oven door open to let the heat disperse - free 10 minutes of heating instead of letting it go to waste

Number 3 in the shower saves on toilet paper too. :thumbup:Quote:
