Energy use implications

I found this article on heat in the NY Times kind of a teaser

but it does have some implications for how we use energy in cooking - a sustainability issue related to food.

Seems like most of our emphasis is on the impact of growing and distributing food, but we do need to consider the environmental costs of food preparation and storage in our homes.
