Instead, you need to dry the bottom of the pot before placing it on the gas stove. If you use it directly on the gas stove, the pot will take a long time to heat up and waste gas.
At the same time, water dripping from the bottom of the pot onto the gas stove can cause the automatic fire extinguishing device and the ignition pin to malfunction, resulting in no ignition. And more importantly, when the gas stove is burning and encounters moisture, it will not burn completely and the flame will turn yellow or red. It not only easily blackens the pot but also produces more carbon monoxide, which is dangerous to health.
Therefore, please remember to wipe the water off with a cloth or kitchen paper after washing the pot before placing it on the gas stove!
In addition, when cooking, it is not better to have a larger flame. It needs to be determined based on the size of the pot. Only when the flame area is adjusted to match the bottom of the pot, the heat loss is reduced better and the gas saving efficiency is truly achieved.
