Green Your Cooking: Think Outside the Oven

What you eat and how far your food travels to get to you are important considerations, but it’s also a good idea to think about how you cook your meals; by doing so, you can reduce your energy use -- and your meals will taste great too.

Tip #2: Think Outside the Oven

We’re all pretty comfortable using our oven, stove, and microwave, but there are many less traditional ways to cook that are fun and eco-friendly. Consider solar ovens. They use the sun’s rays to cook your meal. And while they may not be practical for everyone, solar ovens defiantly prove that if you think creatively, you can find less energy-intensive ways to cook.
