STOVE-it varies based on your type of cooking
Energy-Saving Tips for Cooking
Whether or not you plan to buy a new range or other cooking appliances, you can probably save a lot of energy just by modifying your cooking habits. Try these tips:
Full-size ovens are not very efficient when cooking small quantities of food. When cooking small- to medium-sized meals, it generally pays to use smaller microwave ovens, toaster ovens, or slow-cook crockpots.
If you have two ovens, use the smaller one whenever you can.
For soups and stews that require long cooking periods, using a crockpot will save a substantial amount of energy.
For stove-top cooking, consider using a pressure-cooker. By building up steam pressure, it cooks at a higher temperature, reducing cooking time and energy use considerably.
Use the smallest pan necessary to do the job. Smaller pans require less energy.
With electric cook-tops, match the pan size to the element size. For example, a 6" pan on an 8" burner will waste over 40% of the heat produced by the burner.
Keep the burner pans (the metal pans under the burners that catch grease) clean and shiny so they will reflect more heat up to the cookware. Blackened burner pans absorb a lot of heat, reducing burner efficiency.
With electric burners, solid disk elements, and radiant elements under ceramic glass, use flat-bottomed cookware that rests evenly on the burner surface. An electric element is significantly less efficient if the pan does not have good contact with the element.
With electric burners, you can turn off the burner just before the cooking is finished. The burner will continue radiating heat for a short while.
With gas burners, make sure you're getting a bluish flame. If the flame is yellow, the gas may not be burning efficiently. Have your gas company check it out.
To reduce cooking time, defrost frozen foods in the refrigerator before cooking.
With conventional ovens, keep preheat time to a minimum. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
Try to avoid peeking into the oven a lot as you cook. Each time you open the door, a significant amount of heat escapes.
Food cooks more quickly and more efficiently in ovens when air can circulate freely. Don't lay foil on the racks. If possible, stagger pans on upper and lower racks to improve airflow if you're baking more than one pan at a time.
Cook double portions when using your oven, and refrigerate or freeze half for another meal. It doesn't take as much energy to reheat the food as it does to cook it-not to mention the saved preparation time!
Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25°F and cook foods just as quickly.
Use meat thermometers and timers to avoid overcooking. Overcooking not only spoils the taste and reduces nutritional value but also wastes energy.
If you have a self-cleaning oven, use the feature just after you've cooked a meal-that way, the oven will still be hot and the cleaning feature will require less energy.
With microwave ovens, keep the inside surface clean to allow more efficient microwave cooking. You can often cook foods right in their serving dishes, thus saving time and reducing the amount of hot water needed for dishwashing.
any stove and fridge with an energystar logo on it it uses almost zero power to stay running enerygy star is looking to make this world a better place we should all get a n enerygy star applience
Energy Star
Anything with with the Energy Star logo on it,use it. It's guaranteed to use less energy.
here is the info hope you like earth sciences its the best way to learn about your environment
a refrigerator with the freezer at the top or bottom made after 2004 instead of side by side would save quite a bit
There are many services and tips provided by local energy companies. The Southern California Gas Company offers rebates and incentives for retrofitting and/or buying energy efficient products.

Energy Star
Designed to promote efficient energy usage in homes and businesses, the Energy Star program is a joint effort of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the DOE. Appliances that earn the Energy Star label—signified by a blue-and-white logo featuring a star—exceed the efficiency of the federal appliance standards by 10 to 40 percent. The Energy Star Web site, www.energystar.gov, offers more information about home energy efficiency, including special offers or rebates and a list of Energy Star qualified appliances.
