<\/p>Congrats to the winner: Karen<\/strong>\n

Last week, I was able to listen in on a \u201cThe New Green Kitchen: Top 10 Tips for Giving Your Cooking a Greenover\u201d webinar sponsored by Scanpan<\/a>. Jackie Newgent, a chef, registered dietitian, and author of Big Green Cookbook: Hundreds of Planet-Pleasing Recipes and Tips for a Luscious, Low-Carbon Lifestyle<\/a> hosted the call and gave the following tips:<\/p>\n

1. Select smart skillets.<\/strong> Rather than using non-stick pans with chemicals, use PFOA-free and recycled aluminum pans, like Scanpan.<\/p>\n

2. Practice eco-cooking techniques.<\/strong> Rather than boiling, try lid-cooking (cooking in a covered pan while the burner is off). *Note when lid-cooking: No peeking!<\/p>\n

3. Think at your sink.<\/strong> Rather than constantly rinsing, scrub food items in a bowl and toss it with ice. Other ways to save water is to use salad spinner and pasta salad (which does not require rinsing).<\/p>\n

4. Take advantage of residual value.<\/strong> Rather than baking, try hyper-baking for dishes that are not temperature sensitive (i.e. cookies). Hyper-baking is baking without preheating and using available heat after turning the oven off.<\/p>\n

5. Love your small appliances. <\/strong>Microwaves, toaster ovens and panini grils reduce energy by half to two-thirds. Just be careful to avoid \u201cvampire\u201d energy drain (leaving the plugs in when they are not in use).<\/p>\n

6. Beware of your big appliances.<\/strong> For a \u201cfriendlier\u201d refrigerator, keep the fridge portion at 34 \u2013 40 degrees Fahrenheit. For the freezer, keep it at 0 degree Fahrenheit. Glass bowls in the fridge and artisanal ice cubes in the freezer also help\u2026as does buying Energy Star appliances.<\/p>\n

7. Serve earth-style meals. <\/strong> Instead of lots of dishes, prep, cook and serve all-in-one dishes. <\/p>\n

8. Be waste friendly.<\/strong> Produce as little waste as possible. Ideas include using produce skins, seeds., etc; going organic and composting.<\/p>\n

9. Green size-it!<\/strong> Rather than meat entrees with veggie side dishes, switch to veggie entrees and meat side dishes. Butterfly or pound meat\/poultry to maximize the portions. \u201cThink meatballs, not meatloaves.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. Enjoy ecotarian cuisine.<\/strong> Consider a fresh, seasonal, simple plant-based diet approach. A few sites that will help include the following: www.eatwild.com\/products<\/a>; www.heritagefoodsusa.com<\/a>; www.localharvest.org<\/a>; www.edf.org<\/a>; and www.montereybayaquarium.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tips that stood out to me the most were those regarding different boiling and baking techniques. I\u2019m going to try that. I don\u2019t really use my stove a lot, but I will try them out. (I cook practically all of my meats on our indoor grill.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of cooking\u2026 I was sent a a copy of Jackie\u2019s cookbook and a Scanpan CTX 10\u201d Fry Pan. Scanpan also wants to give one lucky Mom in the City reader this 10\u201d Professional Fry Pan as well. To win, please tell me your favorite green kitchen tip (from above or one of your own) in the \u201cComments\u201d section below by April 30th. Good luck!<\/strong>
