The Internet can be a significant source of inspiration when it comes to improving your cooking eco-skills. Nowadays, when our resources' limits become visible, we have to pay more and more attention to what we leave behind and what we waste after our job in the kitchen is done.

The people behind the CHOW project destroy one of the most powerful myths, which states the fact that you need a significant quantity of water and a large container in order to prepare some delicious pasta.

A lot of water is wasted in our household, and Harold McGee, the author of Keys to Good Cooking: A Guide to Making the Best of Foods and Recipes wants to put an end to this situation while proving that using a frying pan instead helps chefs and amateurs to preserve a lot of water as they are experiencing exciting cooking activities.

Also, CHOW staff helps us redefine our position towards the utility of items we sometimes leave hanging around our kitchen. Yes, it is possible to make dinner out of potato chips leftovers, you can bake a tasty muffin in a mug and it is possible to prevent your avocado from turning brown and unappealing.

All this, while you preserve your water resources as you make your monthly bill shrink.

And, who knows, maybe your savings can bring you a new set of frying pans just in time for Christmas.
