Many people light gas before washing rice, choosing vegetables and ingredients, which virtually increases the waste of gas. If you prepare for cooking first, you can greatly save the use of gas.

When cooking, the fire should be bigger at the beginning of cooking, and the flame should cover the bottom of the pot. But when the dish is ready, turn down the flame in time, minimize the fire when serving, and then turn up the flame until the second dish is ready, which not only saves gas, but also reduces the oil smoke pollution caused by empty burning.

When cooking noodles or eggs, turn off the fire after boiling for one minute, and then cover the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, which will not only overflow the pot, but also save a lot of gas. The kitchen should maintain a good ventilation environment, otherwise the oxygen is not enough when the gas is burned, which is particularly gas-consuming.

When boiling water, the closer it is to the boiling point, the more heat it needs and the more gas it consumes. Therefore, when boiling hot water, don't mix it with cold water after boiling it. You can directly burn the cold water to the required temperature, which can save gas.
