Start Energy Saving from the Kitchen
January 19th, 2010 | 
Author: Energy conservation was already a noteworthy thing. You must begin to conserve energy in any form, including use in the home. How?
You can start from the kitchen. As we know, the kitchen is a food processing space that is used every day. The food processing requires water, fire, electricity, gas and other fuels. Because it needs the most energy in the house in the kitchen. The use of equipment, resources, and efficient fuel that could eventually save energy usage and overall costs.
Actually, it only needs simple steps to conserve energy use in the kitchen, among them are as follows.
1. Make sure the kitchen area has a ventilation opening of the window, a minimum of 20% of floor area. Utilization of optimal sunlight can save energy because minimizing the use of lights.
2. The kitchen should have artificial lighting is bright enough for night. Artificial lighting should be adequate (not dimmed and not blinded) to perform each job and see the color change of food. Lighting is too dim or too bright can cause eye strain and fatigue. We recommend using neon or fluorescent lamps for energy saving.
3. At the time of cooking, cover your pot / pan to prevent loss of heat generated by the fire. When the heat is wasted fuel that is used will also wasteful and food longer to mature.
4. Make sure the surface of the bottom of the pan to cover the entire coil stove (fire cooker). If you see flames emerge from the surface of the underside or side of the pan, this means a waste of energy has occurred. This is because the distribution of heat becomes less efficient. For that use the pan a diameter larger than the diameter of coil stove.
5. Currently on the market sold a multifunctional cooking equipment. Use these tools to cook several dishes at once. For example, cooking rice and steaming vegetables or warm side dish. Thus the energy used to focus on one cooking utensil.
6. Use cooking equipment-based thick and hard, for example Teflon. It aims to be more efficient heat distribution and faster cooking mature.
7. Turn off the oven or stove before cooking really mature. Let the rest of the heat is still “stuck” in the pan who continued maturation process your food.
8. If you will heat the food, but do not use the microwave stove use only. Heating with stoves require less energy than heating with microwaves.
9. Use high pressure pan (if you have one), because this type of pot actually save fuel and cooking time. As a comparison, if using a regular pot, it takes approximately 30 minutes to boil the red meat. Whereas with high pressure pot, to boil the red meat only takes approximately 15 minutes.
10. If you have a dishwasher (Dishwasher), should wait until the full Dishwasher. If washing very little, other than electrical energy-intensive, too wasteful use of water.
11. Avoid laying a refrigerator near the stove and oven. The extreme difference in temperature can reduce the efficiency of work of each tool so that the necessary resources will be greater. Avoid too refrigerators from direct sunlight.
12. Make sure the refrigerator is not packed with food. Freezer is too full cause it to work harder so that electric power will also be wasteful. Also, get used to not too frequent opening and closing the refrigerator door. Although seem trivial, it affects the electrical energy consumption. Refrigerator which often requires opening and closing it to work harder to cool the temperature back in the refrigerator.

Location of the dining room divided into three possibilities, namely:
United with Kitchen – dining room in the kitchen is called breakfast Nook. These areas tend to eat small number of seats with only two to three fruits. Ate activities that occur generally simpler, as well as the use of tools and equipment.
Near Dining Room Family Room – The dining room of this type is a combination living room with dining room. Usually without the barrier wall or screen that is massive. Openness deliberately brought to room feel more spacious and intimacy between family members remain intertwined. The dining room of this type have many applications in homes today.
