Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers

By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket.

Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators

The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit.

Kitchen tips -> Onions

When selecting, choose firm onions that have dry paper-like skins and that seem heavy for their size. Avoid onions that are soft or spotty and any that have begun to sprout.
When cutting onions and only half the onion will be used, use the top half and store the root end. The root end will stay fresh for a longer period of time.
Tear saving tips: (Experiment with these tips and see what works best for you!)
- Slice under running water.
- Peel the onion, cut in half and let soak in water for approximately 10 minutes before cutting.
- Store in the refrigerator before cutting so the onion is cold.
- Light one or two candles in the area you are cutting the onion.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife.
- Have a fan blowing the fumes away from you.
- Try holding your breath while you are cutting the onion.
To remove the onion odor from your hands, rub a piece of lemon in salt and then squeeze the juice on your hands, rub the juice in, and then rinse it off.
