Cooking food with a lid on can save a significant amount of LPG gas. By using a lid, you trap the heat, and the food gets cooked faster, thereby reducing your cooking time and gas consumption. Additionally, using a lid retains moisture and nutrients in your food, making it healthier and more flavorful.

Choosing the right size of burner or gas hob for your cooking needs is another great way to save LPG gas. Selecting a smaller burner helps you conserve energy as it requires less fuel to heat up and therefore, uses less gas. Additionally, using a larger burner than necessary can be ineffective and inefficient, leading to higher energy costs.
Tip #3 – Use Low Heat Setting and Preheating

One of the most effective ways to save LPG gas is to always use a low heat setting when cooking. Low heat settings help you conserve fuel as they require less energy and time for your food to cook. Additionally, preheating can also help conserve LPG gas as it cuts down on the total amount of energy used while cooking.
Preheating your stove is an essential step for cooking but often goes unnoticed, leading to unnecessary gas consumption. To save LPG gas, turn off the flame after preheating your stove and heat your utensils without the flame. This technique can save up to 20% of gas usage and reduce your cooking time as well.
Tip #4 – Clean Your Stovetop and Burner Regularly
