What is Go-Green Cookware?

We are always being told we should eat healthier and start recycling food scraps into compost but have you ever thought about how you could cook greener?

Here’s 5 top tips for Greener Cooking:


  1. Choose your cookware more carefully based on longitivity. The longer your utensils, cookware and knives last the better for the plant. Try a cast iron or stainless steel pan as these will last you a lifetime and are a trusty investment.
  2. If you can get cooking on Electric, better yet induction. As these transfer electromagnetic energy directly to the pan, leaving the cook-top itself relatively cool and using less than half the energy of standard coil elements.
  3. Learn how quick the oven you use heats up, when you know that, the quicker you can put your food in the oven, and the less time and energy waste there is thinking the oven needs heating.
  4.  Cook fresh, scrap keeping it all frozen till you want to east it. Make us fresh and avoid the microwave. This is good for you and your energy bills.
  5. Buy and cook in bulk.  Buying in bulk means less packaging and less cooking time as well as financial savings.  Just make sure you can eat/store it all.
