The refrigerator uses the most energy in most kitchens, so picking an energy-efficient model makes a big difference. Induction cooktops are changing how we cook efficiently. They heat cookware directly, which means faster cooking and better temperature control. Energy Star rated dishwashers save resources too. Compared to hand washing, they save over 8,000 gallons of water during their lifetime.
