- Don’t waste energy preheating your oven, most ovens don’t need it. For pastries and cakes, preheating 10 minutes is plenty. You can also turn your oven off 15 minutes early for major items like roasts and casseroles, the heat left in the oven will finish the job.
- Turn down the heat after water boils. Lightly boiling water is the same temperature as a roaring boil.
- Cooking frozen foods uses more energy, thaw them out first.

How bizarre that we use our oceans as our lunch box and our dumpster at the same time. Thank for the daily reminder.
Judging how hot my oven gets, I figured that preheating isn't necesary. Perhaps we can lobby the big food companies to stop putting preheating directios on their products.
