Efficient Cooking with Gas: Tips & Tricks
Cooking with gas is favored by chefs worldwide for its instant heat control and even distribution. But did you know you can make your gas usage even more efficient? Save money on refills and extend the life of your cylinder with these simple tips from Flora Gases.
Use the right size pot: Using a small pot on a large burner wastes
heat. Match the
flame size to the bottom of the pan.
Keep lids on: Covering your pots traps heat and steam, cooking food
faster and using
less gas.
Clean your burners: Blocked burner ports cause uneven heating and
inefficient
combustion. A blue flame is efficient; a yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion.
By adopting these habits, you'll not only save money but also contribute to a greener environment by using fuel responsibly. Happy cooking!

Great advice! I didn't realize panel cleaning made such a big difference. I'll definitely check my MPPT controller as well.

The tip about shifting usage to midday is spot on. It really helps prolong battery life for the evening. Thanks for sharing!
