Nature trips and family and friends’ outings without a travel stove are almost impossible. But for all loved ones who travel, running out of travel gas capsules has become a big challenge. In this article, we want to explain solutions that can solve this problem. From reducing consumption to what travel gas capsule to buy that is available everywhere.
1. Choosing a high-efficiency gas stove
The first step is to buy an optimal and high-quality travel stove. Stoves that are “originally” less efficient produce more heat. (Types of Travel Stoves: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Best Option)
Tip: If you are using your old stoves, buying a new and more efficient stove and a new model can save you up to 30% in gas consumption.
2. Using the right cookware
The type and size of cookware is very important. Do not use large and heavy dishes. They do not need to be too thick and bulky. The thinner and lighter the better. For example, use suitable travel kettles to boil water, which will boil water much faster. Also, be sure to put the lid on the pot when cooking, it has a great effect.
Practical test: Water in a pot with a lid boils up to 3 times faster than without a lid!
3. Precise flame adjustment and heat control
The cooking flame should be on medium and this is ideal. The flame should burn blue and when your food or stew reaches a boil, reduce the flame to low.
4. Camping Meal Planning
If your access to gas cylinders is limited, try to use semi-prepared canned food and foods that require less cooking. Group cooking is also a good way to save money.
5. Insulate and protect the stove from the wind
Wind is the biggest enemy of travel gas stoves and can increase gas consumption by up to 50%!
- Use a windshield: This simple device prevents the flame from spreading.
- Cooking indoors (if possible): If you have a tent or shelter, light the stove indoors.
- Adjust the direction of the stove: Stand so that your body or belongings act as a wind shield.
