We are often unaware of how much energy our homes use, and we assume that certain habits we are used to are normal, but they may be adding to your electricity bill.
We want to share a series of very simple tips for your kitchen that will help you reduce energy consumption at home.
Each of these tips will help you make better use not only of your cookware but also of every appliance you commonly use.
When cooking, it is important to cover your pots, so the heat is used more efficiently and you don't need to keep the stove or burner on longer while the food cooks.
Use the minimum amount of water when boiling vegetables; it will help you preserve the food's natural vitamins thanks to the steam produced in the pot, using the shortest cooking time.
When baking, it is important to open the oven door as little as possible to keep the heat from escaping so food cooks and browns faster.
A few minutes before you finish cooking, you can turn off the burners and the oven, don't worry about the food being undercooked, since the residual heat finishes cooking everything.
When putting food in the refrigerator, make sure it is not hot, so the temperature of nearby foods doesn't rise, which would make them cool unevenly.
In your kitchen layout, it is important to place the refrigerator away from heat sources from other appliances such as the stove, the oven or the microwave.
Before opening the refrigerator door, think carefully about what you need, since every time the door is opened it uses electricity that adds to your monthly bill.
At our Bougainvillea Condominium, each of the 5 different home models has a kitchen layout that fits the energy-saving tips mentioned.
Each space has the right placement for appliances, making proper use of them when cooking.
It is a very attractive feature of the condominium; choose the model that best fits your needs and your family's.

With a complex of more than 15 amenities to do all your activities without leaving home.
