HOW YOU CAN CONSERVE YOUR COOKING GAS AND MAKE IT LAST LONGER

Kiakiagas has endeavor to reach different classes of people and orientate them on the benefit of LPG to their health. We also give information about how LPG is a more cost-effective, faster, and environmentally friendly cooking method than conventional methods. Following the increase in gas prices, many individuals were seeking for strategies to extend the life of their cooking gas. It's possible and easy to extend the life of your gas. Utilizing these suggestions will help you save a lot of money. Here, we come with a list on how you can conserve your cooking gas and make it last longer:
1.     Use metal-made cooking utensils: One of the quickest ways to waste gas is to use cooking utensils with poor heat conductivity; instead, use metals like stainless steel to conserve gas. Your food will cook more quickly because metals like stainless steel are good heat conductors.

2. Low heat cooking: By using a low flame, gas is not squandered when cooking. Once the pan is hot, reduce the burner to a low setting to save gas.
 

3. Thaw frozen meals before cooking: To hasten the cooking process, take a few minutes to defrost or melt frozen goods. When you defrost frozen food before cooking, you can maximize the use of your cooking gas by using less of it.
 
 

 
 
 
 

4. Cover the burner with a pot. Cooking with a small bottomed pan over a large burner will only lead to waste since the flames that reach the side of the pot are ineffective for cooking and will only increase the waste. Always use a pot that completely covers the burner for efficient gas use and effective cooking.
 
 
 
 
5. Maintain your gas cylinder and stove on a regular basis to ensure safety and get the most out of your cooking gas. Regularly check the regulator, as well as the pipes or hoses for blockages and leaks. To prevent waste, make sure the regulator is always properly switched off after cooking.

 
 
 
 
6. Ensure that the burner you use is the right size for the pot you're cooking in. Cooking with little pots on a large burner is a waste of cooking gas. Always pair the appropriate burner with your pot to get the most out of your gas. Always keep in mind that the size of the burner will determine how much gas is burned.
 
Cooking with LPG is not a hot and humid experience, as stoves produce far less heat than other cooking gases; as a result, we recommend not overheating your kitchen. LPG emits the least amount of greenhouse gases of any existing fossil fuel. It has significantly less nitrogen, sulphur, and other particle chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Because an LPG cylinder doesn't take up much space in the kitchen, it's easy to keep one on hand. It's not like traditional cooking techniques such as wood, charcoal, or kerosene oil, which produce dense puffs of smoke, soot, and residue.
The usable energy value of one kilogramme of LPG is 20.7 MJ/kg. Air-dried firewood has an energy level of roughly 16 MJ/kg, while charcoal has a content of 27 - 33 MJ/kg. To supply the same amount of useable cooking energy as 1 kg of LPG, between 7.3 and 29.7kg of woodfuel would be required, depending on the type of woodfuel, charcoal generation, and cook stove. Because LPG is heavier than air (for example, propane is 1.5 times heavier than air), it can accumulate above ground. This could result in LPG 'lakes,' which could produce explosions. To aid detect leaks and so limit the risk of explosion, a foul-smelling odorant is added.
LPG is an extremely effective cooking fuel. It is cost-effective, and its high heating capacity allows you to prepare your meals in less time, saving you money on fuel. It burns completely and produces no residue or particle matter, resulting in lower maintenance costs and a smaller carbon footprint. In most nations, LPG is only available in metropolitan areas, and LPG supply problems are common in rural areas. Furthermore, most rural regions in underdeveloped nations cannot afford to utilise LPG because of the low cost of fuelwood and a lack of information. Kiakiagas has endeavor to reach the rural areas and orientate them on the benefit of LPG to their health. We also reached out to rural residents to give information about how LPG is a more cost-effective, faster, and environmentally friendly cooking method than previous methods. We persuaded them that LPG may provide significant biomass resource alleviation in areas where biomass is scarce. LPG provides numerous advantages that can provide users with a life-changing experience. It's healthy for you, your kitchen, and the environment. Working with LPG can be made even more useful if you pay attention. This is why our public relations team encourages people to cook with LPG at home.
One of the key reasons for the increased use of LPG around the world is its convenience. LPG warms swiftly and efficiently, outperforming even the most advanced biomass stoves. LPG burners can also be adjusted more precisely to meet the needs of the user, saving time in the kitchen when cooking and cleaning. LPG may also be transported, stored, and used in almost any location, like camping.

How LPG is contributing to the growth of SMEs in Africas: Your One Stop LPG Provider

A crucial component of human life is energy. Reliable access to modern, reasonably priced energy is essential for a country's social and economic development. Traditional dirty-burning fuels used for cooking, such as coal, wood, and kerosene, produce large amounts of pollutants and carbon monoxide, which are the main contributors to indoor air pollution and its negative health impacts. Continual use of unclean fuels may result in early deaths, an increase in childhood and adult illnesses, associated environmental problems, and stress on the healthcare system, according to experts. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was found in the search for cooking energy that would protect our environment from pollution. LPG is a type of energy that is used in cooking. It is produced by refining raw natural gas or crude oil that comes only from fossil fuel sources. It is kept and moved in LPG cylinders at a reasonable amount of pressure as a liquid. Propane and butane make up the majority of the gases created during the LPG production process. The first online energy company in Nigeria, Kiakiagas, provides excellent, prompt, and safe delivery of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and related products to Nigerian households and businesses. The company has developed into an energy solutions provider, paving the way for a future in which gas will drive the switchover of the African energy sector from fossil fuels to renewable sources, bringing electricity to consumers in the last mile from urban to off-grid areas.
