Many people complain that their cooking gas does not last long. Sometimes, it is not because the gas is small but because of the way it is used. If you notice your cylinder gets empty too quickly, you may be making some mistakes without knowing.
Here are 7 common reasons why your gas finishes fast:
1. Leaking Cylinder or Hose – Even a small leak can waste a lot of gas.
2. Old or Weak Burner – A weak flame uses more gas than a strong blue flame.
3. Cooking With High Flame Always – Using high flame for every meal wastes gas.
4. Leaving Food Uncovered – Food takes longer to cook when not covered, so more gas is used.
5. Cooking Small Meals Many Times – Reheating or cooking small portions separately increases gas usage.
6. Not Maintaining the Cooker – Dirty burners block proper flow of gas and waste it.
7. Poor Cooking Habits – For example, leaving gas on while cutting ingredients or not planning meals.
To really save gas, check your cylinder and hose often, use the right flame level, keep pots covered, and maintain your cooker regularly.
