How well do you know your oven? If this is indeed the case, you are probably using its “hidden” function, designed to leather faster and less hard. This is the rotating heat, which allows all those who use it to save considerable sums. And for good reason ! It is also an opportunity to spend about 25% less energy for the same cooking time.
That being said… it must be made clear, recalls the specialist journal Au Feminin on its site, that it is generally not equal. Fan-assisted heat promotes even cooking faster than natural convection. In addition, it is also an opportunity to cook several dishes at the same time and therefore optimize the use of your household appliances.
Another very simple, but nevertheless effective tip: only preheat the oven for the strict time necessary. Otherwise the latter runs mechanically empty, which is not a good thing. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the time required for cooking by thinking of defrosting any necessary foods that have passed through the freezer before preparation. To do this, all you have to do is remove them from the device early enough. It is also possible, in the case of steaks packaged in plastic for example, to soak them in lukewarm water to speed up the process. Do not open the packaging.
Last basic tip: use electricity appropriately over time. Concretely, it is a question of thinking about cooking during off-peak hours rather than peak hours.
