Electric stove :
- Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified cooking time
- Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the cooking coil
Gas stove :
- When cooking on a gas burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve LPG
- Remember that a blue flame means your gas stove is operating efficiently
- Yellowish flame is an indicator that the burner needs cleaning
- Use pressure cookers as much as possible
- Use lids to cover the pans while cooking
- Bring items taken out of refrigerators (like vegetables, milk etc) to room temperature before placing on the gas stove for heating
- The hob you choose should always be the same size as the saucepan or frying pan.
