A smart cook can prepare meals without
wasting a lot of energy. Whether you're
stove top cooking or using the oven, there
-are a -few -ways to -conserve, -.says /Monica-
Beaumont, foods and nutrition specialist
with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food's rural organizations and services
branch.
The best cookware for the stove top is
made of heavy metal with flat bottoms,
straight sides and tight fitting lids. Pressure
cookers are even better than standard
saucepans, she says. They can save as much
as 40 per cent more energy than conven-
tional cookware.
"It'sa good idea to match the size of .the
saucepan to the element you're using," she
says. Energy can be wasted if the pot ex-
tends more than 2.5 centimetres (one inch)
beyond the heated area.
If you're cooking with water, reduce the
heat once it comes.t9.a boil. Continued high.
temperatures will not cook the food any
f aster.
Another way to save energy is to shorten
the cooking time by a few minutes. "Many
people don't realize that food will continue
to cook with stored heat," she says. .
The oven can 'also be a big energy con-
sumer. "Avoid using it whenever possible,"
says Beaumont. Only 10 per cent of the
energy used to heat the oven actually cooks
the food, the rest is wasted.
She suggests that preheating the oven is
unnecessary unless the broiler element
comes on during the preheat cycle. Cooking
- times will -remain the same even for foods.
baked a short -period. of time: Foods with •
longer baking time will require no longer
than five minutes more without preheating.
One common mistake is to set the heat
controls higher than required. It won't heat
the oven any faster.
"A good way to save energy is to use your
whole oven space and cook several items at
once,' sne says. This method only takes a
little more energy and is more efficient than
cooking several items separately.
Ifeeping -the-oven -dooi closed --is -also a
good practice. Oven temperatures can drop
anywhere from four degrees Celsius to 24
degrees Celsius (about seven degrees
Fahrenheit to 43 degrees Fahrenheit) every
time the door is opened.
As with stove top cooking, bakeware
makes all the difference. Beaumont sug-
gests using glass or dark -colored metal
bakeware that will absorb and retain the
heat.
Plan your meals using these tips and
you'll not only save energy, you'll save
money on your utility bills, she says.

Eighty-six year old Herbert Stitt has written an autobiographical account of the old
steam days on the railroad in the book I Remember. In the book the retired CPR
engineer, seen here looking at an abandoned railway crossing shanty, takes a nostalgic
look at the rail lines that used to run through this area. (Elizabeth A. Willmot photo)

It was only a few years ago that
restaurants started providing small spaces
for the non-smoking . diner. In many cases,
that situation has reversed and the smoker
is resigned to sitting in the smaller section.
Various associations have literature
' printed telling the non-smoker how to be
assertive in telling the smoker to butt out.
First, let's address the non-smoker. When
a smoker is in your company and asks if you
.mini if they smoke and you do, politely say
so. They won't be offended •

Smokers are not mihtd readers. If you say
go ahead, they will. ' •
Then, if by chance you start choking and
turning blue, they could get the message
and put out the cigarette. It would have been
much simpler if you had . just said, 'Yes I
mind.'
