If you don't entertain friends and family outdoors very often, there's no need to run to the store and buy all-weather outdoor furniture. It's OK to bring indoor metal or wood chairs outside for your party on a bright, sunny day. Just bring them back inside afterward in case it rains. Or, consider renting party chairs and tables from a local company; you may be surprised how affordable it is and how convenient it is to have someone deliver and pick up the rentals for your event.

The self-cleaning mode in your oven can be a useful, chemical-free way to remove the caked-on grease and other debris in your oven. It can also use a whole lot of energy to get super-hot and properly do its job. The best way to use the self-cleaning mode is to set the oven to "clean" after you've already baked something to cut back on energy use.

Here are some quick tips to make your oven as energy efficient as possible: Don't cover the racks with aluminum foil; it reduces heat flow and increases cooking time. Bake in ceramic or glassware instead of metal whenever possible; it outperforms metal because you can usually lower the cooking temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
