01
Plan your cooking
Planning meals ahead can help you organize your cooking and reduce unnecessary repeated cooking sessions. When possible, group related cooking tasks together.
Start with simple habits
There is no single gas-saving method that works exactly the same for every household. Your meals, cooking time, household size, equipment and daily routine all matter. The tips below are simple habits you can consider as you learn what works for you.
02
Use the right flame
Avoid using a flame that is unnecessarily high for the task. Adjust the flame to suit what you are cooking and keep an eye on the food rather than leaving the burner at a high setting.
03
Use suitable cookware
Use cookware that fits your burner properly. A suitable pot or pan can help the heat reach the food effectively during cooking.
04
Keep lids on when appropriate
For meals where it is suitable, using a lid can help retain heat and may reduce unnecessary cooking time.
05
Prepare ingredients first
Have your ingredients ready before turning on the burner when possible. This can help reduce the time your cooker is running while you prepare food.
06
Keep your cooking area clean
Keep burners and cooking equipment clean and in good condition. If something about the flame or equipment looks unusual, have the equipment checked appropriately.
07
Pay attention to cooking time
Notice which meals take longer to prepare. Understanding your usual cooking times can help you recognize changes in your household's gas usage.
08
Track your usage
Keeping a record of your refill and expected consumption dates can help you understand your own pattern over time.
09
Organize shopping and cooking
Having ingredients available when you need them can make meal planning easier and help you avoid unnecessary extra cooking sessions caused by poor preparation.
10
Learn your household pattern
After several refills, compare your dates and cooking habits. Your own history can become a useful reference when planning future refills.
