Seven Ways to Save Resources in your Kitchen

The kitchen is that place of the house where we spend a substantial amount of time. While working in the kitchen, it is important to be aware of wastage that may occur inadvertently such as water, electricity or food. Subsequently, it is also important to prevent the occurrence of such wastage.  

Follow these 7 steps to save valuable resources and work smart while in your kitchen.   

Use a Container While Hand-washing Dishes

Do dispose of leftovers before putting vessels in the sink. Do not use the sink strainer as a trash bin. The best way to utilize food wastage is to create compost out of it. This will make your Sleek kitchen clean and also produce nutritious soil for your plants.   

When you wash dishes by hand, here is an efficient way to save water; Fill a large container with soapy water and dip your plates in it before scrubbing. A lot of water may be wasted otherwise if you rinse each plate under a running tap.

Use an Efficient Dishwasher

While installing a dishwasher, ensure that you buy one with good energy ratings. One with stainless steel interiors is a good choice for easy cleaning and rust free interiors. Always run the dishwasher on full capacity to save on water and electricity. If it’s just a few plates or mugs rinse them by hand instead of running the dishwasher.    

Carry a Shopping List

When you go shopping, always carry a list of items you need. This ensures you only buy essentials and prevents you ending up with a lot of merchandise that looks attractive but you may not use later.

Use Bulk Bins

Many retail outlets offer bulk bins to consumers. Using them, you may weigh and buy only the amount of product that you need. This helps you to get rid of the excess amount that comes in packaged products.

Use Smaller Ovens

If you need to heat, bake or grill small items, use the microwave or grill to save energy, instead of your oven. Ovens usually have higher capacities and use that much more energy.

Treat the Waste

Do dispose of leftovers before putting vessels in the sink. Do not use the sink strainer as a trash bin. The best way to utilize food wastage is to create compost out of it. This will make your Sleek kitchen clean and also produce nutritious soil for your plants.    

Fill the Refrigerator

Full refrigerators save energy. Keeping your refrigerator full means all the things in it are cooled evenly. Because they are so closely packed together there is negligible loss of cooling. Also, clean your refrigerator’s air filter regularly to save energy.

Practising these simple steps will help you save a lot of resources while you work in your Sleek modular kitchen.
