When the holiday cooking marathon begins, your oven works overtime — and so does your energy bill. But here’s a smart chef’s secret: smaller, high-efficiency appliances deliver delicious results while using far less energy.
Why It Matters
Full-size ovens are energy-intensive — especially during the holidays. Using smaller appliances helps cut energy waste and speeds up cooking!
Small Appliances = Big Savings
Countertop appliances use up to 70% less energy than traditional ovens. That means:
- 🍲 Slow cookers keep dishes warm and tender without the energy drain
- 🍗 Air fryers cook fast and provide a crispy finish for sides and leftovers
- ♨️ Convection oven mode circulates heat for faster, more efficient cooking
Pro Tip: If your oven has a convection setting, turn it on. It cooks faster and saves energy.
Bonus Win: The Mighty Microwave
With guests constantly reheating food, the microwave becomes the holiday MVP. It heats small portions fast — no preheating required!
Efficiency + Comfort = Holiday Win
Less energy waste, shorter cook times, and just as much holiday flavor. That’s a smart seasonal upgrade.
