"Cooking is an energy intensive activity which contributes disproportionately to evening peak energy demand. Surveys suggest that average household cooking consumes 600 to 700 kWh per year for electric equipment (over 10% of average annual electricity consumption), or around 5 GJ if gas is used (almost 15% of average annual gas consumption).  User behavior is a major factor influencing cooking energy use. Apart from decisions about the type of meal to be cooked, actions such as leaving lids off and boiling hard instead of simmering can easily double energy consumption. Melting fat for deep frying, boiling large quantities of water for meals such as pasta can also consume large amounts of energy. 

Did you know that to pre-heat your oven, it takes the same amount of energy to light up 40, 100 watt light bulbs?

All our lids in our cookware sets come with the vapo valve when the temperature inside our cookware reaches the desired temperature for preparing foods without harming the nutritional aspects (187°F), our patented Vapo Valve begins to click, alerting you to turn down the temperature. As a result you retain 90% and above of the vitamins & minerals in your cooked foods. No more guessing, pot watching & stirring plus you save ENERGY.

Our patented cookware creates a semi-vacuum which locks in all the aroma, moisture and most importantly, heat inside your cookware. By keeping all this energy and moisture locked in, your foods will cook faster and naturally be juicier and tender. Our cookware is engineered to cook on lower heat greatly increasing energy efficiency and lowering your monthly energy bill.Because of our unique semi-vacuum, and even heat conduction design, you can actually bake on top of the stove.
