1. Running your washing machine after 10 PM or during off-peak hours can help reduce electricity bills in many cities, since power demand is lower at night and rates are often cheaper.
2. Mixer grinder jars last much longer if you dry them thoroughly before closing the lid. Moisture trapped inside can lead to rust, foul odors, and faster wear of blades and gaskets.
3. Using a pressure cooker can reduce cooking time by up to 70% compared to traditional open-pot cooking. This also helps preserve nutrients, saves gas or electricity, and keeps kitchens cooler.
4. Keeping your refrigerator about two-thirds full improves cooling efficiency. Too empty and it wastes energy; too full and air circulation is blocked. The right balance keeps food fresh longer.
5. Induction cooktops waste around 30% less heat compared to gas stoves because the heat is generated directly in the pan, making cooking faster, safer, and more energy-efficient.
6. A microwave oven uses less energy than a conventional oven when reheating or cooking small meals. It also prevents unnecessary heat in the kitchen, keeping your home cooler.
7. Air fryers can reduce oil consumption by up to 80% compared to deep frying, while still delivering crispy textures. This makes them a healthier option for everyday cooking.
8. A ceiling fan consumes about 70% less electricity than an air conditioner. While it doesn’t cool the air, it circulates it effectively, making a room feel several degrees cooler.
9. Using warm water in washing machines helps detergents dissolve better and improves stain removal, especially for oily or greasy clothes. However, always check fabric care labels first.
10. Modern dishwashers often use less water than washing dishes by hand. On average, a dishwasher can use 8–12 liters per cycle, while hand washing may waste 20–30 liters or more.
