Tips for saving cooking gas
- pre-cook food
There are always those ingredients that we use frequently when cooking, usually the most basic items in our basket like beans, rice and vegetables. How about pre-cooking these foods and saving them in small portions to heat in the microwave? This way you will be reducing the cooking time.
Since when cooked in one portion enough for the week, the time on the fire will be minimal. Soaking the beans can also shorten the cooking time.
- check your stove
A stove that has not been recently maintained, with accumulated impurities and dirty, will have obstructions in the mouths when cooking. And that will represent more fire time and also gas expense. So check if your stove is in need of some maintenance. For this, you can observe the flame of your stove, seeing if there is any clogging or if the color of the flame has changed.
For example, if the flame is orange or yellowish, there is a blockage that will interfere with cooking.
- Cook with covered pans
No need to keep the pot uncovered, as you will be wasting gas. On the contrary, always use the lids to save time and gas. Not to mention that the pans must be properly covered with their respective lids, as an inadequate lid will result in heat leakage.
- check the cylinder
Finally, it is also very important that you check your cylinder, especially in the threads and pipes that connect to the stove and oven. This tip will also be very important to avoid accidents. In the case of piped gas, you will also have to carry out continuous maintenance to avoid leaks.
