Friends, there was a time when traditional wood stoves were used for cooking. But as time took a turn. Wood stoves were replaced by LPG gas cylinders, which have become an important part of today's modern kitchen. These LPG gas cylinders have provided relief to women, especially in rural areas, who were dependent on traditional cooking methods using wood and cow dung cakes, but friends, some problems also come with these facilities, like whether you are using an expired gas cylinder, let's know how to find out-:
Each LPG gas cylinder has three rods on its surface, where important details including the expiry date are displayed.
The markings usually include letters and numbers. For example, you may see A-23, B-25, C-24 or D-23.
Understanding the letters:
The letters represent the months of the year:
A: January, February, March
B: April, May, June
C: July, August, September
D: October, November, December
Decoding the numbers:
The numbers before the letters represent the expiry year. For example, if you see C-24, it means the cylinder will expire between July and September of 2024.
Importance of checking expiry dates:
Regularly checking the expiry date ensures safe and efficient use of gas cylinders. Using an expired cylinder can lead to safety hazards and inefficient cooking.
