Take advantage of the oven or stovetop to cook several dishes at once. You can store portions in the freezer and reheat them without using as much gas .
4. Turn off the oven or stove a few minutes before the end of cooking.
Residual heat continues to cook food, especially in rice, pasta, stews, or baked goods.
5. Use pressure cookers
The pressure cooker reduces cooking times by up to 70% . Ideal for stews, tough meats, or legumes.
6. Keep the burners clean and with a good flame
A yellow flame indicates poor combustion and excessive fuel consumption. Make sure the flame is blue and uniform.
7. I boiled water in electric kettles
If you have access to electricity, heating water with an electric kettle uses less energy than using gas.
8. Use the microwave to reheat
For small portions, it is much more efficient than relighting a burner.
9. Do not use pots smaller than the stovetop.
This causes the fire to be wasted on the sides. Always use pots that are the correct size for the burner.
10. Insulate the kitchen and water heater well (if you have one)
If the room is cold, heat is lost more quickly. Avoid drafts, use weather stripping, and keep the stove closed while cooking.
