Tips To Make Cooking Gas Last Longer
As Nigerians adjust to the fluctuating gas prices, experts recommend practical measures to extend the lifespan of cooking gas:
1. Use Lids While Cooking: Covering pots during cooking helps retain heat and cook food faster, reducing gas consumption.
2. Avoid High Flames: Use medium or low flames where possible, as higher flames often waste gas without significantly speeding up cooking.
3. Regular Maintenance: Ensure burners and regulators are clean and in good condition to improve efficiency.
4. Pre-Preparation: Prepare all ingredients beforehand to minimize gas usage during cooking.
5. Cook in Bulk: Preparing meals in larger quantities reduces the need for repeated use of gas.
6. Use Energy-Efficient Cookware: Pots and pans with flat bottoms and tight-fitting lids distribute heat more effectively.
