I have a tendency to overcook some veggies (potatoes in particular). Using this method means that they are always cooked perfectly (and not mushy). So ... not only does it save energy, it make a dish more enjoyable. I was given a cast iron pot recently with a good, tight-fitting lid. And wow ... that's kicked up the energy-savings as well. It seems to heat up faster, holds the heat longer and cooks perfectly. Who knew! Thanks, Mrs. Green! I really like this idea. I have a tendency to overcook some veggies (potatoes in particular).

If some of the other tips on this site seem to big, then ones like this are things that all people can manage :) Hello Wilson; simple steps are often overlooked and deemed ‘unecessary’, but I like to keep things achievable for all so that overwhelm doesn’t set in.

After all, it won't cost us too many energy, by putting on the lid on the pot, isn't it? Honestly, I don't know why there are still many people that always ignored this simple step! Sigh...

If we all kept the lids on our pots while cooking we could save loads of money and emissions. It's these kinds of small changes made by lots of people that end up making the biggest difference. Thanks for joining us this week or Thrifty Green Thursday! What a wonderful and simple tip! If we all kept the lids on our pots while cooking we could save loads of money and emissions.

I even use it to make porrage and rice pudding, so that we come down to a warm breakfast in the morning :) Do you have a favourite crockpot recipe to share?
