In addition to providing great holiday lighting tips, electricity provider TXU also has the dish on creating a tasty holiday feast without busting your energy budget!

• Cook outdoors—If you live where the climate is mild enough to use an outdoor grill, cooking outside is a great way to save electricity and natural gas.
• Choose glass or ceramic pans for the oven—Glass or ceramic pans heat faster than metal pans and allow you to set the temperature 25 degrees lower. Plus, meals will cook just as quickly.
  
• Use microwaves as much as possible—Microwave ovens use much less electricity than a stove or oven and take less time to cook meals.
  
• Use slow cookers—Slow cookers can cook a whole meal for about 17 cents worth of electricity!
  
• Clean burners and reflectors—Clean burners and reflectors will provide better heating, while saving energy

These are just a few of the simple things you can do to conserve. What sort of things are you and your family doing to save energy this holiday season?
