May 2, 2016: Kitchen CSI: Uncovering Five Ways Most Kitchens Lose Money
Kitchens are so complicated and busy that’s it’s easy for things to go wrong with energy and water consuming equipment, but it seems that nobody in the kitchen notices these failures until thousands of dollars have been lost. But, with a little knowledge and some sharp eyes, you can learn to spot and fix the most common money wasters. Join us as we walk thru our virtual kitchen, uncovering waste and learning to save money by thinking ahead!

Join us on May 2nd and enter to win an energy efficient Turbo Pot ($300 value)
“The Eneron, Inc. stock pots proved to be a remarkably effective method of increasing range top performance.

Heat up times were substantially reduced and production capacities increased. Energy performance was also significantly improved.

By simply using an advanced pot design the 25 – 30% energy efficiency of a standard, gas-fired range top was raised to over 40%. When used on a range top with energy efficiency in the low 30’s, the number approached 60%.”
