The Can-Do is back. Today, thanks to Brother Tom from Conneticut, we offer a simple way we can all pool together to save energy. If you are a pasta lover/cooker read on.
In a recent article in the New York Times, Harold McGee reports that instead of using the standard 4 to 6 quarts of water to boil pasta, you can get the same results using 1.5 to 2 quarts. This means the burner will be on for a shorter time. And according to Mr. McGee:
"My rough figuring indicates an energy savings at the stove top of several trillion B.T.U.s. At the power plant, that would mean saving 250,000 to 500,000 barrels of oil, or $10 million to $20 million at current prices."
Please share with the Can-Do community any energy saving tips--cooking or otherwise--you might have.
