1. Understand the relationship between heat and temperature Burning cooking gas produces flame and the flame produces heat energy. The more gas you burn, the more heat produced by the flame and vice-versa. When a cooking pot with its contents absorbs the heat, its temperature rises and cooks the food. The higher the temperature within a cooking pot, the quicker the cooking. What to note here is that once the boiling point of a liquid in a cooking pot is reached, further heating and gas burning will not cause the temperature of the pot’s content to rise or cause the content to cook faster until all the liquid has evaporated. The secret is therefore to maintain a minimum flame required to maintain boiling. Avoid adding excess amount of water and cooking over a long period on high flame. Rather, add water in a steady manner that allows cooking on lower flame for the same duration. 2. Match your pot to the right burner There is a reason why some gas cookers have multiple burners with diffe
