When possible, cook meals with smaller, energy efficient appliances, such as toaster ovens, slow cookers and air fryers.
When using the range, match the size of the pan to the heating element. Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean so they reflect heat more efficiently. After your holiday meals are complete, load the dishwasher fully before starting the wash cycle.
