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.
