• Use an appropriately sized pan for what you want to cook
• You can use the residual heat as well, for example to heat flatbread.
• Boiling water with a kettle is more efficient than using a pan.

Oven

• For most things, it isn't important to preheat the oven, especially with frozen food. You might need to heat it a bit longer tho.
• Like not preheating, you can also switch off the oven early.

Fridge

• Let the food cool down before putting it inside the fridge.
• Try to keep the fridge open for as short as possible
