How to save gas in the kitchen: 12 tricks to spend less

Choose the right pots and pans. Not all pots and pans conduct heat in the same way, and some are more effective and faster than others. The best materials to save gas are: stainless steel, pots and pans with aluminum base and soapstone.
Keep pots and pans in good condition. By protecting their surface, heat is spread more evenly and allows us to better cook our food using the least possible amount of gas.
Choose the right size. Pots and pans must be larger than the stove, to avoid wasting heat by making the flame go to the edges.
Always use the lid. This advice is especially important for preparations that need a longer cooking. Using the lid the heat is distributed more evenly and more effectively, saving us up to 25% of energy.
Check out the flame. It must be blue in color, which indicates a good combustion of gas. A yellow flame, on the other hand, signals us that the combustion process is not complete.
Keep the burners from the stove clean. Clean and good burners are important to avoid further heat loss.
Once boiled, it lowers the flame. Cook your food at the right temperature. Leaving the flame high, in addition to making us consume more gas, makes us run the risk of burning our dishes.
