How to make your
cooking gas last longer?
Ways to make your gas last longer |
Organise your cooking
Prepare
all the ingredients and keep them ready for
cooking. This means you can cook rapidly.
If you have to stop cooking for a short while
shut off the gas. It's cheaper to light another
match. |
 |
The family that eats
together saves gas
If
you have to heat food just once,it means less
waste. Reheated food is also less nutritious. |
 |
| A gas burner has two
positions - use them |
|
Once
you bring a liquid to boil or the food becomes
hot you can keep it hot by using the simmer
position hereby saving a lot of gas. Because
at the simmer position gas flows out at
only 1/4 to 1/3 the full rate. Try it out
and see.
The
colour and height of the flame are very
important
If the flame is blue in colour, everything
is fine. If the outlet holes are blocked
and the flame is yellow, have the stove
checked by a mechanic.The flame should never
extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This
saves gas and makes sure the food is cooked
properly, especially if there is liquid
inside the pan or vessel.
