General cooking tips

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Oven Tips : With conventional ovens, minimize the preheating time. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.

Buy Local Food : Take a child shopping with you, pick up one of the offending products and say quite loudly "Well we’re not buying that, think of the energy it’s used up just getting here!"

Safety in the kitchen

Don't dry clothes in the microwave.

Keep electrical leads away from water.
Don't put a plant pot or anything wet on top of an electrical appliance.
Check the toaster is clean and well away from curtains.
