Smart people's tips to help
Use a pot that is the right size for the stove and the food to be cooked
Cooking on a gas stove with a pot that is not the right size will cause the fire to escape. Therefore, when cooking on a gas stove, you need to use a pot that fits the fire ring and the food needs of your family. Families with few people should cook in a small pot, families with many people should cook in a large pot or cook many times and turn the heat to the size of the bottom of the pot. This helps reduce heat loss and also helps the food cook faster and taste better.
Adjust the flame to fit the bottom of the pot
When cooking on a gas stove, you should not turn the flame too big, spreading it out to the bottom of the pot because it will increase the risk of burning and losing heat, wasting gas. Therefore, adjust the gas knob so that the flame is right at the bottom of the pot, the pot will boil the fastest, but if the flame is big, it will only radiate heat to the outside. This will help you ensure gas savings and cook better.
When cooking, focus on cooking quickly
Watching the phone or talking while cooking can make the cooking process longer, and often cause food to spill, burn, etc., making the food not only unappetizing but also wasting gas. Food and water spilling into the ignition ring can also damage the stove, causing damage and wasting gas. Therefore, pay attention to cooking and focus on cooking quickly.
Regularly clean the gas stove
Cleaning the gas stove will help the stove stay clean and not break down for a long time. The gas stove's ignition ring rusting will also cause the stove to flicker, the red flame will waste gas, and gas will escape into the house. Moreover, this will cause the stove to break down quickly, because the air hole is easily blocked, making the gas unstable, the flame will be stronger, helping you cook to save gas.
The habit of placing a cloth next to the stove, while cooking, if you see food splashing out, wipe it every day, which will help the stove to be cleaner and will limit rust.
Turn off the gas tank after cooking
The gas released not only wastes gas but also harms the environment and health, especially in closed houses. Therefore, turn off the gas tank when cooking. The correct way to turn off the gas valve is to turn off the gas valve and then turn off the stove. Turning off the gas tank will help limit the amount of gas lost to the outside, partly ensuring the safety of the user, avoiding gas leaks, causing explosions... In particular, gas is very harmful to health, you breathe a little but breathing it every day is harmful pollution, especially for young children.
Should arrange the cooking sequence scientifically to avoid turning the stove on and off many times
Prepare the ingredients to cook all at once without having to stop in the middle and not waste time waiting in the middle of cooking. Turning on and off continuously causes gas to escape, which is both costly and pollutes the air in the family. It is best to prepare the ingredients before cooking so that when cooking, you can cook all at once to avoid turning the stove on and off many times.
Using a fire barrier ring reduces gas consumption
Metal rings surrounding the fire barrier are also very effective. One way to keep the fire to save heat when cooking on a gas stove is to use a fire barrier ring placed on the stove. This also prevents the fire from spreading out and causing burns. Especially when the stove location has a lot of wind, this ring is even more useful to help you protect your safety and save gas.
Do not overcook food
When cooking, many people are careless, so they often add water during the cooking process. That makes the dish not only not delicious but also makes you waste more cooking energy. Therefore, when cooking, you need to calculate reasonably to avoid this phenomenon.
