Why Efficiency Begins with the Right Appliances

Adopting a more mindful lifestyle includes choosing the right kitchen appliances and using them wisely on a daily basis. Reducing food and energy waste not only supports the planet, it also saves money and enhances your day-to-day cooking experience.

The oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher play a crucial role in the everyday operation of the kitchen. Using them properly not only helps reduce unnecessary consumption but also extends their lifespan and enhances their performance.

How To Use Appliances More Efficiently

Smarter Cooking

Latest-generation ovens and hobs are equipped with advanced technologies that help reduce energy consumption while delivering high performance. Using them correctly ensures you cook smarter and more sustainably.

Smeg Galileo ovens, are designed to remove the guesswork from cooking, with automatic functions that make healthy, delicious meals easier to prepare while using less energy.

Meanwhile, induction hobs with an ECO function offer a more efficient way to cook, reducing energy consumption without compromising performance.

Choosing The Right Refrigerator

When choosing a refrigerator, it's essential to consider features that help reduce environmental impact. For example, opting for models with a high energy rating or selecting a fridge that matches the size needs of your household.

Some of the most innovative models are even made with recycled components., reflecting our wider sustainability commitments.

Washing Dishes

Using resources mindfully in the kitchen also means paying attention to water consumption when washing dishes. Properly loading the dishwasher, running it during off-peak hours, and selecting energy-saving cycles can significantly reduce water and electricity use.

Smeg dishwashers support sustainable living at home with intelligent programs that optimise both consumption and performance.
For example, the Auto program automatically adjusts temperature and cycle duration based on the level of dirt, while the Eco program minimises water and energy use. These features, along with options like Green Express for even more efficient cycles, make Smeg dishwashers an eco-friendly and practical choice for everyday life.

Creative and Sustainable Cooking

Sustainability in the kitchen goes beyond choosing the right appliances and using them properly. It also means making the most of your ingredients, storing them carefully, and reinventing them in creative recipes that honour ingredients, reduce waste, and celebrate bold, seasonal flavours.
