Cooking for Less

Cooking for Less

I received a flyer that listed the power usage in the home. It listed the oven and stove top very high in energy usage, and slow cooker and toaster oven a lot lower. I had already been using a slow cooker, but I started using our toaster oven for small roasts, baked potatoes, baked apples, small casseroles, etc. With just two people in the house, I can do our full dinner in the toaster oven and hopefully save some electricity and money. Between the toaster oven, slow cooker, and electric George Foreman grill, I rarely use the full-size oven anymore and hope to see the savings in our electric bill. All of these rated lower in electricity usage by my electric company than the oven and stove top.
