The use of a lid when cooking reduces the amount of heat escaping from the cooking area. Reducing the amount of time required for cooking and thereby reducing the amount of energy needed. This in turn reduces the amount of energy-required to pay the electricity bill. A good way to prove this point is to boil a pot of water with a lid and one without a lid and time how long they take to boil. Then see how much difference there is in the setting needed to make each simmer.
