Fpergy saving tips fpr 'an efficent kitchen
BY LYNN TODGHAM
We live in a society that is
becoming more and more
energy conscious. Much is
written on insulation but not
much on the little things you
can do within the home
which can add up to a
substantial saving over the
year.
Listed below are some
energy savers in the kitchen,
laundry and bath.
Cooking Energy Savers:
Install an aerator in your
kitchen sink faucet. By
reducing the amount of
wayr in the flow, you use

required to heat it. The lower
flow pressure is hardly
noticeaaPle,
If you need to purchase a
"gas oven or range, look for
one with an automatic (elec-
tronic) ignition system in-
stead of •pilot lights. You'll
save an average of up to a
third of your gas use — 41
per cent in the oven and 53
per cent on the top burners.
If you have a gas stove,
make sure the pilot light is
burning 'efficiently — with a
blue flame. A yellowish
flame indicates an adjust-
ment is needed.•
Never boil water in an
open pan. Water will come to
a boil faster and use less
energy in a kettle or covered
pan:
Keep range -top burners
and reflectors clean. They
will reflect the heat better,
and you will save energy.
Match the size of the pan to
the heating element. More
heat will get to the pan; less
will be lost to surrounding
say.
If you cook with electrici-
ty, get in the habit of turning
off the burners , several
minutes before the allotted
cooking time. The heating
element will stay hot long
enough to finish the cooking
for you without using more
electricity. The same princi-
ple applies to oven cooking.
When ` using the oven,
Make the most of the heat
from that single source.
Cook as many foods as you
can at one time. Prepare
dishes that can be stored or
frozen for later use or make
all oven -cooked meals.
Watch. the clock or use a
timer; don't continually
open the oven door to check
food. Every time you open
the door, heat escapes and
your cooking takes more
energy.
Use small electric pans or
ovens. for smallrneals rather
than the kitchen range or
oven. They use less energy.
Use pressure cookers and '

microwave ovens if you have
them. They can save energy
by reducing cooking time.
When cooking with a gas
range - top burner, use
moderate flame settings to
conserve gas.
When you have a choice,
use the range top rather than
the oven.
Dishwashing Energy
Savers:
Theaverage dishwasher
uses 14 gallons of hot water
per load. Use its energy effi-
ciently.
Be sure your dishwasher is
full, but not overloaded,
when you turn it on.
When buying a
dishwasher, look for a model
with air -power and -or over-
night dry settings. These
features automatically turn
off the dishwasher after the
rinse •cycle. This can save
you up to 10 per cent of your
total dishwashing energy
costs. -
Let your dishes air dry. If
you don't have an automatic
air-dry switch, turn off the
control knob after the final
rinse. Prop the door open a
little and dishes will dry
faster.
Don't use the "rinse hold”
on your machine. It uses
three to seven gallons of hot
water each time you use it.
• Scrape- dishes before
loading them. into. the
dishwasher so you won't
have. to rinse them. If they
need rinsing, use cold water.
Refrigerator and Freezer
Energy Savers:
1
Don't keep your
refrigerator or freezer too
cold. Recommended
temperatures: 38 degrees. F
to 40 degrees F for the fresh
food compartment of the
refrigerator; 59 degrees F
for the freezer section. (If
you have a separate freezer
for tong -term storage; 'it
should be kept at 0 degrees
F, however.)
Consider buying
refrigerators and freezers
that have to be defrosted
manually. Although they
take more effort to defrost,
these appliances use less
energy than those that
defrost automatically.
Regularly defrost manual -
defrost refrigerators. Frost
buildup increases the
amount of energy needed to
kSen the engine dunning,
Never allow frost to build up
more than one-quarter of an
inch.
Make sure yourmm'�
refrigerator door seals are
airtight. Test them by dos- -
ing the door over a piece of
paper or Aiollar bill so it is
half in and half out of . the
refrigerator. If you can pull
the paper or bill out easily,
the latch may neeffadjust-
ment. or the seal may need
replacing.

In his introduction, Mr.
Paquette spoke of the
necessity of good sail
preparation. He explained
how gardeners could obtain
a soil' test .through the
University ' of Guelph. Soil
containers and instructions
may be obtained from . the
office of the Ministry, of
Agriculture and Food in ,
Clinton..Samples of soil -are
then • sent to the University of
Guelph for testing. The
results given will assist the
gardener in deciding.. the •
correct nutrients to beaked
to the soil.
The film "Planting -and
Transplanting" covered
such subjects as getting an
early start iiy plaid Lig woes
in containers indoors. -When
seedlings have four leaves,
they should be placed in
individual pots. When all
danger of frost is over, they
are planted in 'the garden.
Transplanting should always
be done on a cool cloudy day
and roots should not be
exposed to -the air for too
long a time. -
The film also gave detailed
instructions on methods of
• planting. shrubs, roses and
small trees. • Soil
preparation, use of peat
moss and compost and
proper .watering methods
were illustrated.
• The slide presentation on
vegetable • diseases draught
attention to the difficulties to ,
be overcome in ,producing
choice products. It seems
there is a fungus or insect
ready to attack each
vegetable family. On the
other hand, there are
methods of prevention. To
assist .gardeners in their
fight against these problems,
the Ministry has published
several pamphlets and •
booklets which may be ob-
tained through the Clinton
office., Samples of these were
available to those present
: -
A token of appreciati m
was presented to Mr.
Paquette. who• very
graciously donated the gift
cheque to the work of the
Garden Club.
