Cookin' with kilowatts contest seeks energy efficient deliciousness

Winning Cooks Receive PCC Gift Cards Up to $250

This summer, Seattle City Light is challenging customers to a put an energy saving spin on their most creative, tasty recipes.

Their Cookin’ with Kilowatts contest asks customer to create or use an original recipe that they would typically bake in an oven or on a stovetop and use a cooking method that uses less electricity.

“Using electricity wisely reduces your impact on the environment and saves you money,” City Light Conservation Resources Director Glenn Atwood said. “Cookin’ with Kilowatts is a fun way to teach our customers more efficient methods of cooking with the added bonus of keeping the kitchen a bit cooler during the summer.”

Gift cards from PCC Natural Markets will be awarded to customers for first, second and third place. First prize is a $250 gift card with a $150 gift card for second and a $100 gift card for third. The customer with the winning recipe also will be featured in City Light publications and on the utility’s website.

Every customer who participates will receive a Seattle City Light pot holder and chef’s hat, while supplies last.

To enter, the customer must live in Seattle City Light’s service territory (all of Shoreline, all of Lake Forest Park), only one entry per household. The recipe must be an original recipe that uses an appliance that is more energy efficient than an oven or stovetop. Complete rules, prize information, contest details and the entry form are available on Seattle City Light’s contest page.
