A few habits that housewives need to change to help save time and avoid wasting gas when cooking.
To keep the fire level unsuitable
Many housewives have a habit of turning on the stove to the maximum or keeping the heat too low when cooking. Accordingly, a too high heat level will dissipate heat around instead of concentrating it on the bottom of the pot, causing relative gas waste. Conversely, a too low heat will prolong the cooking time, causing more gas to be consumed and the dish to take longer to cook.
Do not cover the lid of the pot
The habit of not covering the lid of the pot when cooking such as boiling vegetables or stewing food is one of the main reasons for wasting quite a lot of gas. Steam and heat released outside prolong the cooking time as well as consume more energy. Therefore, regularly covering the lid of the pot when cooking will help keep the temperature inside for a long time, helping food cook quickly and save significant gas.
No ready-made ingredients
Cooking while preparing ingredients such as slicing meat, washing vegetables, peeling garlic... will consume a significant amount of gas. Preparing the ingredients ready before cooking will help the cooking process be smooth, both saving gas and time and ensuring the dish is always hot and delicious.
