A gas cylinder is one of the most important kitchen items, which women use almost the whole day to make something or the other. That's why women pay a lot of attention to cylinder maintenance and try to run their gas throughout the day. However, sometimes it happens that your gas runs out before a month, especially in monsoons. Therefore, if you feel that in this season your cylinder consumption is excessive, then you should use gas carefully.
Although the use of gas cannot be reduced, its consumption can be reduced by adopting some methods. Because today we have brought with you some such cooking hacks, by adopting which you can reduce the consumption on gas. So what's the delay, let's know.
1. Use the oven
You can use the oven to heat food. Because in the oven your food will be heated more quickly than the gas, for example, if you heat a vegetable on the gas, then it will take 15 minutes comfortably. All the same, your vegetable will be hot in the oven in 2 minutes.
2. Boil vegetables and use
If you are making any vegetable in a pan, then it is better that you use it after boiling. Because cooking vegetables in a pan by boiling will not only save your time but your food will also get cooked quickly.
3. Cook food covered
If you want to save gas, it is better to cover and cook the food. Because by doing this your gas consumption will be less and your food will be cooked sooner. On the other hand, if you cook food without a cover, then your gas will be more expensive.
4. Follow Tawa Hack
This hack is not only new but can be very helpful for you. Tawa hack can be useful while making your roti - before cooking roti; you heat the tawa and make two to three rotis at once. This will not only make your roti quicker but your gas will be spent less.
5. Set the food at room temperature
Take out frozen food, milk, and vegetables from the fridge at least 1-2 hours before cooking. That is, it is very important to do the gas at room temperature because it will reduce the consumption of gas.
6. Use high flame
You can make a high flame of gas while cooking. However, after high flame, you have to prepare the food very carefully. Otherwise, try to always cook it on medium flame, because on a very low flame the food will be cooked very late and the gas will also be spent more.
7. Use pressure cooker
Boiling meat, chicken, pulses and some vegetables consume more gas, so always use a pressure cooker to cook such vegetables or meats. Or if possible, put it in the microwave first and cook it semi. Let us tell you that meat or chicken cooks faster in the microwave than in gas.
8. Use soaked lentils
Many women cook lentils or rice in a hurry without soaking them. But doing so will cost you more gas. So it would be better if you soak lentils or rice in water first and then cook it.
We hope this information will be useful for you and you will be able to save your cylinder.
