*Maximise use of microwave -- most efficient oven type because it only heats the food, not the pan.
*Use convection where microwave is not possible -- convection ovens cook in 10% less time at 3.8 C (25 F) lower. The US Dept Energy estimates convection is 23% more efficient than a standard oven.
*Use a [[PressureCooker|pressure cooker]] on a gas or electric stove top to use up to 70% less energy (no direct comparisons with microwave available).
