Smart Tips to Save LPG While Cooking:

1. Close the lid: Enclose the heat and cook food more quickly- the less time food is left on the stove, the less gas is consumed.
2. Preheat Wisely: It is a good idea to preheat only when necessary; it will save time and energy in the long run.
3. Use a Pressure Cooker: This is a fast method for cooking your meals, whether dals or meats, with less LPG usage while retaining the same nutrients.
4. Pan Size to Flame: Do not burn a lot of gas on a small flame; use the correct size cookware!
5. Mesh Cooking: Cook more and freeze the extra food; in this case, you will save on gas to feed yourself more than once.
6. Switch off early: Consider the leftover heat to cook your food. Switch off the flame some minutes before the meal is cooked.
7. Use Quick-Cooking Products: Foods that cook in less time, such as lentils, vegetables, or whole grains, save time and gas.
8. Correct Cookware: Large-bottomed pots evenly distribute heat and conserve time and gas.
