; after we switched to induction, our electric bill dropped dramatically; induction is much, much more energy efficient than either conventional electric or gas. Induction is also much more powerful and faster than either...

as much wax. With comb honey, when the frame is removed from the hive, none of the wax is returned — a much less efficient use of the bees' energy. That said, I do occasionally enjoy comb honey. I usually cut off a drippy...

Thank you for the energy-conscious answer. I think I will save myself the longer simmer times in future. It just seems so wasteful. Seems I need to experiment with fish stocks, on the energy-efficient plane, as well. Thanks much,...

mine and experiment with it all the time...they are also energy efficient!

-something Cadillac. The chrome is killer or you can go with colors or plain white. Often, you can find one with a built-in, center griddle. The only drawback is energy efficiency but since I conserve in other areas, I...

there who’s been to most of the better tables in town. Hope you like zinfandel, as some of the state’s best is produced within 50 mi., including Ridge which has an energy efficient tasting room a few miles out. cheers

for 5 minutes, drain and then cook slowly on the stove with a small amount of water for about 30 minutes. The pot lid is lined with a dish towel to catch condensation. The texture is similar to that of baked rice, but this is...

dish, Escoffier only mentions it briefly. Going back to machaca, I think an acceptable substitue for carne seca can be made in the oven if a fan is used and the marinated meat is hanging on hooks. Definitely not energy efficient...

environment (no need to raise your voice in the backroom in my experience). Service can be quirky with the waitstaff dressed with some independent flair. Service is efficient but not super detailed/careful as you would find in...

I just found this site...pretty cool http://duke-energy.apogee.net/homesuite/calcs/appcalc/default.aspx

induction cooking is greener because >90% of electric power go directly to your pan, so it is more energy efficient than gas cooking, where only 40% of heat go to pan and 60% go to the surrounding. Well, I am a bit unhappy when I...

A cast iron pan underneath a stock pot works well as a heat diffuser also, but the oven method is likely more effective. From a cost perspective, a crock pot is cheap and energy efficient. It does take up space, but has a...

that point enter the discussion. In this case, I suspect that 'efficiency' also means less negative impact on our energy supply, but I don’t know for sure. Is anyone aware of a study of which is less stressful for the...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/05/garden/05fridge.html?pagewanted=1&em It’s not as radical as it sounds, given that these guys are keeping freezers and using coolers. But they’re not saving much energy (i.e. it...
