Save lots of energy by cooking with a lid
“The simple practice of putting a lid on a pot during cooking can cut energy use by 8-fold.” – Study from Yale University.1
If you normally cook without a lid, there is a lot of energy to save. According to studies, you can reduce energy consumption by up to 8 times just by putting a lid on. It naturally varies depending on the type of stove you have, your cookware, and the food you are making.
This corresponds to a saving of 87.5%.
With Ztove, it's easy to cook with a lid on. When you boil potatoes or pasta, you can set the temperature to 100 degrees. Your food will be cooked just as quickly as if you were boiling it vigorously, and it tastes better because fewer minerals are boiled out into the water.
Use automatic programs and save even more
With Ztove's free app, you can easily start automatic programs designed to give you a perfect result while saving as much power as possible.
We have, among other things, a rice cooker program and a potato program.
We have tested the energy savings by cooking with the lid ajar compared to our program, which allows you to use a tight-fitting lid without it boiling over and automatically utilizes residual heat.
The classic method: Potatoes cooked with the lid ajar for 30 minutes.
Ztove's automatic program: Potatoes cooked with a tight-fitting lid for 20 minutes and on residual heat for 10 minutes.
Result: Save 38% power 
Ztove's program uses only 0.279 kWh compared to 0.455 kWh with the classic method. This means you can reduce energy consumption by 38% by using Ztove's program to boil potatoes, compared to the traditional method.
