Now is the perfect time for households to improve their energy consumption but without compromising on style. And with a massive 47% of the UK’s domestic electricity consumption generated by home appliances, what better place to start than the kitchen?

Stoves Genus

The innovative Genus oven from Stoves uses 50 per cent less energy than a standard oven. So, budding chefs can rustle up a Sunday roast in just 40 minutes, knowing they are doing their bit for the environment.

Genus is a top of the range multi-function oven that is able to cook up to four times faster. It works by combining traditional heating methods with its own unique patented technology so that the cavity reaches optimum temperature in a matter of seconds, cooking food faster from the start. Genus is priced from £799.99.

Induction Heating

One of the most energy efficient developments in the kitchen has come in the form of induction technology. Induction is fast, it powers up instantly and switches off immediately. When using an induction hob, more than 90% of every pound spent on energy goes straight to the pan –making it the most cost-effective way to cook.
