A typical Indian kitchen is always filled with the rhythmic sizzle of a pressure cooker, the simmer of a pan with sabzis cooking on a low flame, the aroma of tea brewing, and so on. But have you ever paused and thought about how much cooking gas is required for something as simple as boiling water? While the go-to options are to make a cup of chai, make a thick soup, boil potatoes, etc, you can smartly use a programmable kettle and save LPG.
To efficiently use the cooking gas, you can upgrade your traditional ‘on/off’ kettle to Usha’s programmable kettle. Allowing you to heat water at particular temperatures, you can make the most of the modern gadget, cook efficiently, thereby consciously consuming cooking fuel. Here are some tips that can help you save gas to the next level.
Pre-Boil Water
Whether you’re boiling eggs, making tea, steaming idlis, or whipping up pasta, boiling water is one of the most frequent cooking practices. Just imagine how much cooking gas you can save if the number of times you boil water on a cooking stove gets eliminated entirely? All you need to do is boil water using Usha’s programmable kettle, pour it into a pan, cooker, steamer, etc, and carry on with the rest of the processes.
Make Tea Or Coffee
There’s hardly an Indian household whose morning doesn’t start with a hot cup of chai or coffee. Particularly for people who like having their beverages multiple times a day, making tea or coffee using an electric kettle can help you cut down on gas consumption. The best part is that with a programmable kettle, you can use the presets to get perfectly brewed green tea, ginger tea, coffee, and much more.
Par-Boil Vegetables
Be it for a sabzi or curry, vegetables take time to become tender. Since you might usually chop the veggies and sauté them in a pan or let them simmer for a gravy, the cooking time can be higher, leading to wastage of the cooking fuel. To deal with it smartly, you can par-boil the vegetables for a couple of minutes using Usha’s programmable kettle, and they’ll cook much faster than the raw ones.

Sterilise Utensils And Bottles
This one is a great option for new parents. Whether it’s your baby’s bottles, utensils like spoons, glasses, or cups, sterilising them on a gas stove usually involves a large pot of boiling water. This can be a time-consuming process and, of course, consumes a lot of energy. Instead of boiling a hefty amount of water on a cooking stove, you can do so with a kettle. You can boil water in multiple batches, sterilise, and save both time and fuel.
Reheating Food
While a microwave is often used to quickly reheat food items, you might always have one. So, instead of reheating on the gas stove, you can perform the same function with a programmable kettle. Using the preset modes, you can warm up water and use it to reheat some dal, curry, sabzi or even beverages like milk, tea, coffee, etc.
