Microwaves & Oven Energy Saving Tips

Match the task with the appliance you are using. If you are reheating something, it makes more sense to use the microwave for thirty seconds than pre-heating the oven and taking a longer time to warm up a small item. 

Additionally, preheating your oven is only necessary for baking. Items such as toasts and casseroles can skip this step, ultimately reducing your overall consumption.
