USE LIDS WHILE COOKING
Covering the pots and pans while cooking not only helps you save fuel but is also a safe practice. When you cook with the lid on, heat is trapped inside and makes the food cook faster, which means less fuel consumption.
TRACK LEAKS
Make sure you check all burners, pipes, and regulators in your kitchen for leaks. Even small leaks that go unnoticed can waste a lot of gas and is dangerous as well.
COOK ON LOW FLAME
When the flame is high, the fuel is wasted in the form of heat. Lowering the flame after reaching the boiling point can save up to 25% fuel, so endeavors to always cook on low flame as it helps to save gas.
MAKE SURE INGREDIENTS ARE READY
Ensure that your ingredients are ready before beginning to cook, avoid turning on the gas and searching for ingredients while cooking, as this will waste a significant amount of gas.
USE A PRESSURE COOKER
Utilizing a pressure cooker is advantageous as it reduces cooking time and conserves fuel. The steam generated within the pressure cooker helps the food to cook faster.
COOK IN WIDE VESSELS
Cooking in wide vessels saves fuel as the visible flame from the burner concentrates on the vessel’s surface, preventing it from being wasted. Wide vessels not only allow you to conserve gas but also help you cook quickly and evenly.
CLEAN BURNERS
Cleaner burners prevent flare-ups, which wastes fuel and can be dangerous. Watch for yellow and orange flames, which are less effective at heating vessels. Make sure to clean the burners regularly.
