Kitchen Hacks to Save LPG Gas: We often make mistakes in the kitchen that result in wasted gas without even realizing it. But don't worry, today we're going to tell you some magical kitchen hacks that can almost double the life of your cooking cylinder. These small changes will not only save you gas but also save you money at the end of the month.

Cook covered, save both time and gas - The first and easiest way is to always cover the vessel while cooking. When you cook food uncovered, heat escapes with the steam, making it take longer to cook. Covering the pan or pot with a lid traps the steam, which helps cook faster and saves about 20-25% of gas.

Use the right-sized utensils - Another important kitchen hack is to use the right-sized utensils. If the burner is small, use a smaller vessel accordingly. Placing a large pot on a small burner consumes more gas and prevents food from cooking properly.

Soaking lentils and rice is essential - If you're cooking lentils, rice, or any whole pulses (like kidney beans or chickpeas), soak them in lukewarm water for at least half an hour before cooking. This softens the grains and allows them to cook faster in the cooker. This small habit can extend your cooking time by several weeks.

Cook on medium heat - It's important to control the gas flame while cooking. Many people cook on high heat, but this consumes more gas. Cooking on medium heat saves gas and ensures proper cooking.

Use of a pressure cooker - Using a pressure cooker is also considered a good way to save gas. The steam pressure in a pressure cooker cooks food quickly. This is why cooking lentils, vegetables, and rice in a pressure cooker is more beneficial.

Burner Cleaning and Yellow Flame - Is your gas burner producing a yellow flame? If so, gas is being wasted. A yellow flame means the burner holes are clogged, and the gas isn't burning properly. Clean the burner regularly with an old toothbrush, lemon, and soda to achieve a brighter, bluer flame.

Saving gas isn't just about saving money; it's also about utilizing resources wisely. If you incorporate these small hacks into your daily routine, you'll find that a cylinder that used to last for 30 days now lasts for 40-45 days.
