Experts say simple habits like cleaning burners, using lids while cooking and preparing ingredients in advance can cut cooking gas use by up to 20%
Small changes in cooking habits can also help save gas. For instance, cooking food with a lid on the pan prevents heat from escaping and allows the dish to cook faster. This simple step can significantly reduce gas usage.Avoid preparing ingredients after turning on the stove. Activities such as cutting vegetables or searching for spices while the flame is on can waste gas unnecessarily. It is better to prepare all ingredients in advance before starting to cook. Soaking items like rice or lentils beforehand can also help them cook more quickly.Using a pressure cooker is another effective way to save gas, as it cooks food faster than regular cookware. You can also cook multiple items at the same time, for example, placing a small bowl of lentils or vegetables inside the cooker while preparing rice. Cutting vegetables into smaller pieces can also help them cook faster and use less fuel.By following these simple practices, households can reduce gas consumption by around 15 to 20% each month. Saving gas not only helps cut expenses but also reduces the risk of kitchen accidents, making the home safer and more efficient.
