Ways to reduce gas cylinder consumption

The problem of early exhaustion of LPG gas cylinder is often heard in domestic kitchens. Experts believe that sometimes this problem is not due to lack of gas, but due to some common mistakes made in the kitchen, which unknowingly increase the gas consumption.

The first and most common mistake is not covering the utensils while cooking. When the vessel remains open, heat escapes, which takes longer to cook and increases gas consumption. Using the lid cooks food quickly and saves gas.

The second big mistake is cooking food on low flame unnecessarily. Many people believe that food is cooked on low flame, but burning gas unnecessarily for a long time increases consumption. Balancing high and medium flame at the right time is more effective.

The third mistake is not cleaning the burner regularly. If the holes of the burner get clogged, the gas does not burn properly and instead of the blue flame, a yellow flame comes out, due to which the gas is not fully utilized. This not only wastes gas but also takes more time to cook food.

The fourth mistake is not checking the gas pipe and regulator from time to time. Many times, due to minor leakage, gas consumption keeps increasing without any knowledge. Experts recommend that it is important to get them checked from time to time so that any unnecessary consumption or safety risk can be avoided.

Energy experts say that by adopting small changes, it is possible to save 10 to 20 percent in domestic gas consumption. For this, habits like excessive use of pressure cooker, preparing food in advance and cooking many things at once can prove to be very beneficial.

Moreover, adopting the right cooking methods not only saves gas but also takes less time. Experts have suggested that users pay attention to their kitchen habits and improve them if needed.
