Can someone find out whether it is better / cheaper to buy readymeals and microwave them or to cook from scratch and use a slow cooker or pressure cooker. With the energy crisis we need to know how to make good cheap and energy efficient meals!

Essential oils
This is probably the wrong bit of the forum, but I doubt any other board would be better. i have been given some essential oils. I actually have no idea what to do with them. This sort of stuff has passed me by … so I call upon the wisdom of mse for ideas. I think I can burn them??

Cheapest way to cook? Gas cooker v Pressure King Pro
I cook from scratch pretty much all the time (for a family. No meat). I've had an electric pressure king pro for a couple of years and only really used the slow cooker option, even though it's got 24 different settings for frying, baking, pressure cook, soup etc. How can I work out it it's cheaper fuel wise to use that…

Old Style Off peak electricity myth or legend?
I’ve put this question on Old Style, because it relates to an old style way of thinking that I’m now questioning. My Mum’s (now elderly) friend and I have exchanged news and views about money saving on the domestic front for years. She had to watch expenditure in much the same way as I have had to for a long time now (I…

Are solar panels worth it for home vacant during the day?
Hi all, Surging energy prices naturally makes you curious about other energy creation. Now, I do not know much about solar panels as I've never had to really look into it as I am aware ROI is large. With raising energy prices, however, this is naturally reduced. I'm wondering if anybody could provide clarity on the…
