Question

What are some ways that someone can save fuel while preparing meals using the top of the stove?

Community Answer

Have all your ingredients ready to go before turning on the burners. For some foods (eggs, vegetables, rice), the cooking process can finish with the residual heat from the burner after it's turned off. Just be sure that any sensitive foods, such as chicken or fish, need to be heated to the proper temperature to prevent illness.

Question

Which one is the best for cooking? LPG or induction stove?

Community Answer

Of those choices, LPG is the only all-around cooking method. Induction is largely worthless and only good for stove top cooking, as it reacts to only ferrous metal contact.

Question

By using thicker walled vessels, can we save LPG?

Community Answer

Using a non-stick pan, coated vessels, all help save gas. Vessels that quickly and evenly transfer heat save LPG. Any tendency to do preparation work while the gas is on leads to wastage. Preparation time is a lot more than actual cooking time.

Question

What is the best way of cooking food when cooking with gas?

Community Answer

Make two items at once in two burners. This saves time because one of the two preparations will have to sit and cook in that time you can wash, chop and stir the other. Keep stirring so it cooks evenly. Keep the vessel, pan, wok right at the center and the food in the center to utilize the fire completely. Use earthen wok for a change. It cooks better, has no health problems unlike metals and brings it's own rich and traditional aroma to food. Make sure there's moisture in the cooking as needed with either oil or water that evaporates when open without a lid. Keep the lid on so the heat cooks the food sooner. Keep coolers or fans off or away from as so that its heat capacity is not reduced.
