1. A FEW MINUTES OF PLANNING MAKES A BIG FUEL SAVE
Light your stove only after you have kept all the ingredients ready for cooking
2. REDUCE THE FLAME WHEN BOILING STARTS
Always reduce the flame once boiling starts.experiments proved that you can save 35% of fuel
3.THE SMALLER BURNER SAVES FUEL EVERY TIME
A smaller burner consumes less fuel than a bigger burner in a gas stove
4. KEEP WATER QUANTITY TO THE MINIMUM
Surplus water consumes additional fuel which could otherwise be saved
5. SOAK BEFORE COOKING
Savings in fuel are possible if you soak cereals for some time before cooking
6. SHALLOW ,WIDE VESSELS SAVE FUEL.
Do not use vessels which are narrow,it allows the flame to creep up the sides.hide the flame with a broader bottomed vessel
7. PRESSURE COOKING SAVES FUEL
8. PLAN YOUR MEAL TIME
If all members of the family eat together,frequent reheatimg of food before serving can be avoided.If eating together is nit possible,store cooked food in insulated containers to serve warm later
9. CLEAN VESSELS HELP TO SAVE FUEL
A fine coating of undissolved salts is usually found on the inside of kettles and cookers.even a millimetre thick coating can reduce the flow of heat to the vessels contents and this increases the fuel consumption by as much as 10%.Ensure that the insides of your cooking vessels are always scrubbed clean
10. ALLOW THE FROZEN FOOD TO REACH ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE COOKING
11. PUT THE LID WHILE COOKING TO PREVENT HEAT LOSS
12. A CLEAN BURNER HELPS TO REDUCE FUEL WASTAGE
It is important to clean regularly the burner of your stove
"A BRIGHT STEADY BLUE FLAME INDICATE EFFICIENT BURNING....IF YOU SEE AN ORANGE,YELLOW OR NoN-uNIFoRM FLAME, IT IS TIME TO CLEAN YOUR BURNER OR WICK"
