Ovens

* Commonwealth Legislation

• Use appropriate sized sauce pans and lids to

minimise wasted heat

• For small orders or one customer, use frying pan rather than griddle
• Cook in large batches outside of peak

hour electricity times

• Source food from local providers
• Thaw food the night before in the refrigerator rather than using water

"provides a legal framework to protect and manage nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities and heritage places — defined in the EPBC Act as matters of national environmental significance".

• Minimise opening of oven doors
• Reduce heat or switch off when not in use
• Only use maximum heat required for your cooking needs, do not over heat
• It’s more efficient to cook with a full oven,

cook in large batches whenever possible

• Utilise microwave rather than the oven when appropriate
• Verify thermostat accuracy and recalibrate if necessary
