The cooking utensil should have a flat bottom that rests smoothly on the surface and thus distributes the heat efficiently and evenly. If possible, keep the pot covered when cooking. This allows a lower heat setting to be used thus saving energy. If possible, cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. Using a pressure cooker saves even more energy and shortens the cooking time. NO!
