Gas cylinder, with this tip it lasts you 4 months longer: stop spending money
You probably don’t know the trick that will allow you to make the gas bottle last longer. If you want to know it, you have to keep reading and you will see how to do it.Many have a gas stove which most of the time is powered by a gas bottle. With expensive energy, the price of it has also increased significantly and you must be careful to dose your use correctly so as not to make your bottle last too long. It all depends on the size of the tank.
In fact, there are cylinders of different sizes. What we can tell you is that 1 kg of gas is consumed in one hour and therefore you can then do the calculations based on the size of the cylinder. We certainly don’t always cook dishes that take a long time to prepare and then we always have to make sure that the cylinder arrives full.
For this check and just do it with the temperature. In fact, the part containing the gas is colder while the empty part has a different temperature. Otherwise you will have to get a pressure gauge, there are also cheap ones on the market, and check that the LPG in the bottle is correct. There is another reason why you may be wasting gas and not making it last long enough.
Gas canister: use the lemon method
As we just said, in addition to checking that the gas bottle is full, you also need to make sure that your burners are well cleaned. And by cleanliness we mean not only that of the hob and grills but also that of the burners and jets which is essential.
In particular, the latter are the components from which the gas comes out. After that, the ignition of the spark burns the fuel and in this way the flame is generated which allows you to cook. So if these get clogged with kitchen grease, they won’t work properly and could cause you to lose gas.
Cleaning them is not that difficult. First you need to remove the grates and burners. Some models do not immediately have the nozzles and therefore in the case where you have to equip yourself with a screwdriver to be able to unscrew it and clean it better. Once you have everything prepared, just grab a lemon.
Take a lemon and cut it in half. Go and remove any seeds present inside then pour a few drops onto the nozzle , this can be one but also several if the burner is larger. Leave it on for a few minutes then take a very fine needle that you can stick inside the tip.
As you will be able to see, the nozzle will be much clearer now and you will also be able to repeat the operation. Then wipe with a tissue and remove the excess lemon when you’re finished. You will surely find your tissue dirty since lemon also dissolves accumulated grease.
You can now put everything back together and check that everything is working correctly. This way the flame should come out better and adjust more easily. All you have to do is check if the gas bottle will last you at least four more months. All you have to do is try to believe it.
