Let's Talk Turkey Energy Efficiency!
Here are the top 7 ways to save energy on Thanksgiving:

1. Keep the over door closed so heat does not escape causing the oven to use more energy to maintain its temperature.
2. Match your pots to the burner size and use lids when possible.
3. Bake several dishes at the same time when at the same temp to cut down in overall baking time.
4. Use glass or ceramic pans to lower the oven temp by 25 degrees and still bake in the same amount of time.
5. Turn down your thermostat because baking, cooking and extra people help to heat up your home.
6. Use your microwave; it uses much less energy and cooking time is much shorter.
7. Use your dishwasher; it uses less water than hand-washing dishes.
