Saving you 70% of your cooking Energy

Each one of us can make a difference every day through simple steps we can take through our lifestyle choices and personal practices, from the food we eat and products we purchase to the energy we consume.

"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?
Are You Aware that the Average U.S. Household Produces More than 35,000 Pounds of Greenhouse Gas Every Year? 27 % of your house hold energy is consumed by the kitchen. 12% is used by cooking alone in less than an hour. Did you know an average gas stove is only 55% efficient and your average electric cook top is only 45% efficient? That means out of every $100.00, $45 to $55 is thrown into the atmosphere in the form of various gases. Did you know 90% of the energy used to cook in the oven is just heating your house?

SALADMASTER IS THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY COOKING SYSTEM AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

"Green by Design"

At Saladmaster , GREEN is not simply a color. It's a commitment to environmental responsibility in the development of our products, processes and logistics. We have procedures in place to minimize our environmental impact and continue to explore new opportunities to be green by design. Our manufacturing air emissions fall beneath threshold regulatory quantities. We emit no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Saladmaster’s efforts consistently fall within federal, state, and local standards for wastewater and solid waste treatment and disposal. Our packaging (corrugated and liner board) utilizes a combined average of 68% - 77% recycled content. Recycling paper and cardboard from our facilities saves 3,283 trees and 19,309 gallons of gasoline annually. Recycling our scrap steel and aluminum saves 4,300 barrels of oil annually (according to the EPA Waste Wise formula). The state-of-the-art lighting systems in our manufacturing and corporate office facilities save a total of 1.5 million kilo watt hours, or 137,000 gallons of gasoline annually. Our cookware is made in the USA. Less energy is required to deliver the product to our customers in the USA vs. shipping and delivering product imported from other countries and, thus, reduces our carbon imprint on the environment.

Through normal activities of using electricity, heating a home and driving a car, each of us is responsible for adding carbon dioxide and other emissions into the air we all breathe. Annually, the activities of an average U.S. household can result in more than 35,000 pounds of CO2 and other pollutants. Carbon dioxide emissions are the leading cause of global climate change.

Energy Conserving Tips

Did you know that every time you lift the cover while cooking, you can lose at least 50º in temperature and waste energy? 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.

Eco-Friendly Clean Non-Toxic Cooking Conserve Energy Reduce Greenhouse Gases

PURE, CLEAN TOXIC FREE COOKING WITH 316TI SURGICAL STAINLESS STEEL WITH TITANIUM

GREEN LIVING TIPS:

Shop Online: Online shopping also saves energy, resulting in enormous environmental benefits.

Drive less: Almost one third of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States comes from our cars, trucks and airplanes. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates. Walk, run or ride your bicycle.

Say NO to Paper or Plastic: Bring Your Own Bag, 380 billion plastic bags are used annually in the United States, each bag is used for about 25 minutes, less than 3% are recycled and they never biodegrade.In fact, they photodegrade, which means they break down into smaller and smaller toxic bits that contaminate soil, pollute waterways and enter our food-chain. Paper bags are not a good option either - we cut down 14 million trees per year to produce 10 billion paper bags for grocery stores in the US.

Reduce use of plastic bottles: In the U.S. alone, we use 1.5 million barrels of oil each year just to create plastic water bottles. We collectively use billions of plastic water bottles each day in our country and only about 12% are recycled. The rest end up in our landfills, or worse, littering our roads, rivers and waterways. In fact, every plastic water bottle ever produced is still in our environment today. Buy a reusable bottle, and bring your water. Just say "no” to plastic bottles.

Replace your light bulbs: Replace your regular incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent (CFL) ones. CFL's use 60-75% less energy than a regular bulb.

Reduce, reuse & recycle: Reducing the amount of waste you generate is the first and most important step. Next in line comes finding a good reuse for items and finally, recycling.

Stop using toxic chemicals: When we use traditional cleaning products in our home, the chemicals contaminate the air and remain on surfaces. We then absorb these chemicals through our skin. In addition, those harsh chemicals are washed down the sink, entering the waste stream and contaminating ground water. Did you know that household cleaners are not even required to disclose their ingredients.Use safer products, such as baking soda, lemon juice and white vinegar instead of harsher chemical cleaners.

Use less water: Don't run the water when you brush your teeth - save 8 gallons of water. Toilets are the largest water consumer in your house. Install a low-flow toilet dam or displacement device (like a filled bottle) to cut down on the amount of water needed for each flushing - reduce water use by 20%. Only wash a full load - of laundry or dishes that is. Don't over water your lawn. As a general rule, lawns only need watering every 5-7 days in the summer. A hearty rain eliminates the need for watering for as long as two weeks. Water lawns during the early morning hours when temperatures and wind speed are the lowest. This reduces losses from evaporation.

Conserve Energy Set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as high as is comfortable in the summer. Clean or replace filters - on furnaces once a month or as needed. Use Sun Energy, the sun produces more energy in one second that all the fossil fuels we burn in the course of a year in the U.S. Solar energy technology is growing by leaps and bounds. Solar panels for your home are great, but there are a number of smaller budget solar items available today (such as garden lights, backpacks) that make solar energy affordable for just about everyone. Look for energy star appliances - If you need to replace an appliance, look for the energy star label. These products perform at the same or better level than standard products and use significantly less energy.

Compute smarter Did you know that the average desktop PC wastes half the power it consumes? The majority of this unused energy is wasted as heat and never reaches the processor, memory, disks, or other components. As a result, offices, homes, and data centers have increased demands on air conditioning which in turn increases energy costs.

Stop Junk Mail Yes, it annoying, but it also wastes an incredible amount of paper, energy, and time. Did you know more than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail? About 28 billion gallons of water are also wasted, and the energy used to produce and dispose of junk mail exceeds 2.8 million cars. An average of 41 pounds of junk mail is sent to every adult citizen of the U.S. each year. Approximately 44% of this mail goes into a landfill unopened.

Why Recycle?

We know recycling is beneficial, but here are some facts (some may be startling) that may make you think seriously about the importance of recycling.

1. About 40% of the waste in the U.S. is paper, but nationwide we only recycle about 25-30% of our paper waste.

2. Americans throw away close to the equivalent of 30 million trees a year, just from newsprint alone.

3. In America we discard enough motor oil per year to fill 120 supertankers.

4. In the United States right now, landfills are filling up and closing at the rate of approximately 2 a day.

5. By recycling an aluminum can per day we can save enough energy to operate a television set for 3 hours.

6. A glass bottle thrown away today will still be there in the year 3000.

7. In the United States, one in every six trucks in a garbage truck.

8. You would be able to circle the earth 436 times per year with the Styrofoam cups that are used in the United States.

These statistics are accurate and valid; they help to illustrate the importance of recycling in the United States. Start taking an active role in helping your community recycle and better your environment and prevent global warming.
