USE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT CORRECTLY
REDUCE ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE SUMMER
We are currently witnessing the first scorching days of summer 2024 around the nation. People are nevertheless encouraged by EVN to use power sensibly and safely, particularly at noon and at night. When cooking with electrical appliances in the kitchen, conserving energy is a straightforward matter that many women tend to "forget". Here are some things to keep in mind while using kitchen appliances to maximize your electricity savings - not just this summer, but also every time you use them.
1. Change your cooking habits
When you need to see what's cooking inside the oven, utilize the light function rather than constantly opening the door to check on the food because doing so would waste the heat that is needed to cook the dish.
Cover the pot when cooking dishes
When heating or preparing food, cover the pot and make sure the pot is the right size for the fire tray - using a pot with a 12 cm diameter on a fire tray with a 16 cm diameter will waste more than 40% of the heat produced.
For Malloca induction cookers, suitable pot/pan sizes range from 110 - 330mm
Due to the shortened cooking time, utilizing an oven with the convection function (with a ventilation fan) will save more than 25% of electricity.
You can save up to 80% of your electricity bill by heating small pieces of food in a microwave rather than on the stove for single meals.
Use the microwave for small meals
2. Use your refrigerator wisely
To keep the cold inside the refrigerator, rapidly close the door. The refrigerator has to work harder to keep the inside cold and maintain a steady temperature each time the door is opened or closed. To further lessen the quantity of warm air and humidity within the cabinet space, make sure the cabinets are consistently full.

3. Use power-saving buttons on your home appliances
The majority of gadgets have an energy-saving or "economic" feature. Make the most of these features. Take the dishwasher's "heat drying" feature off, for instance, as it uses a significant amount of electricity. Use natural air to dry the dish instead.
4. Unplug appliances when not needed
The amount of energy that tiny appliances like toasters and coffee makers consume while they are in standby mode when not in use may surprise you. When not in use, electrical appliances should be unplugged to immediately cut down on this unnecessary expense.
5. Regularly clean kitchen appliances
Your kitchen appliances will work more effectively and use less electricity if you keep them clean.
To help cool the kitchen in the summer and reduce the needless energy consumption of other equipment, the kitchen exhaust hood is one appliance that has to be cleaned regularly.
6. Avert allowing hot metal things to come into contact with the stove
You should avoid placing plates, mugs, or any other metal objects in direct contact with the induction burner while it is cooking. These instruments carry heat well and heat up quickly, so if you're not paying attention, you run the risk of getting burned or experiencing other hazardous situations.
7. After turning off the stove for a short while, unplug the power supply
The induction cooker can easily sustain harm if the power source is abruptly disconnected because it won't be able to radiate all of the heat promptly. To allow the cooling fan to aid in the stove's quicker cooling, you should turn off the burner after cooking and leave it for roughly thirty minutes. You can fully cut off the power source after the time mentioned above. This will successfully conserve energy while extending the stove's lifespan.
