Yvonne's home cooked lunch: Organic veggiesplus Kalani's favourite hormone-free chicken.
cooker saves her.
The kitchen is a magical place where ingredients are transformed into delicious feasts; but don't let a bit of obliviousness turn this magic into an eco-disaster.
- Busy mom Yvonne loves using her thermal cooker. "This thing is a genius.
Chinese soup needs 3 to 4 hours? I boil it for 45 minutes and put the whole
pot in and let it continue to cook without any usage of electricity. It's amazing and you don't have to worry about spillage while busying with the little one." Thermal technology creates a convection effect by using the steam produced inside to circulate and continue cooking for up to 30 minutes
and warms for up to 8 hours without using fuel.
Talk CO2...
- Cook with non-energy consuming thermal cooking:
Cut 5kg per meal - Use lunchboxes and lids, instead of using plastic cling wrap, for storage.
Cut 1kg for every 10 uses - Match pot size with stovetop ring: 40% of energy escapes if your pot is too small for your stove.
Cut 1kg for each well-cooking - Clean grimy ovens, stovetops and especially coils at the back of your fridge. Dirt makes them much less efficient. Cleaned fridge coils.
Cut 40kg CO2 per month - Make sure the fridge is not leaking cold air. A trick to test it is to put a piece of paper up to the seal and close the door. If the paper holds there, your fridge is doing fine. If not, getting it cleaned or fixed will do your wallet and the planet great good. Fixing a leaking fridge.
Cut 20kg per month - DON'T WASTE FOOD! Cook as much as will be eaten; organic leftovers produce a substantial amount of the greenhouse gas methane in landfills
