Save Money and Energy When Using a Commercial Oven
By Janet Ashby
Using energy saving methods is not only good for your electricity bill but is good for the environment. Follow our tips to work smarter and save money. 1) Automate procedures with programmable timers and controls. Instead of regularly opening oven doors, and letting out expensive heat, use timers and get used to how long a particular product takes to cook. 2) Know how long your oven takes to heat up and schedule start up and shutdown times. Turning up the temperature will not cut down the pre heating time. Adhere to the manufacturers recommendations. 3) If possible find periods in the day when the oven can be shut off. Leaving it on constantly while not in use is a waste of energy, and money. 4) Try to cook at lower temperatures as this will ensure more nutrients are present in the food and will also cut down on energy costs. Check manufacturers guides and recipes and always ensure that the temperature is hot enough to cook the food thoroughly. 5) When using a convection oven load with multiple pans as large amounts of food can be cooked without adding to the time. The air circulation in convection ovens is superior and allows a heavy load to be cooked at once. A combination oven is more efficient when used in convection mode. 6) Combi mode ovens often cook faster in combi mode but consume more energy and a large amount of water, up to forty gallons an hour. When possible it will save money and energy to use the convection mode. 7) In all types of ovens cook full loads for more efficiency. Cooking a large batch then turning off the oven is more efficient than cooking small batches and keeping the oven on continuously. 8) Maintain your oven regularly to keep your oven in top condition and ensure that it works efficiently.
