Most people blame the gas supplier, the price, or even the brand of stove, without realizing that the real thief is often a dirty burner. When grease, food, and spills clog the gas outlets, the flame turns yellow or orange, combustion becomes inefficient, and your gas disappears without actually cooking better. By cleaning the burners deeply with a basic homemade mixture of toothpaste, salt, baking soda, detergent, and hot water, you restore a strong blue flame that uses every drop of gas much more efficiently.
The difference is immediate: pots heat faster, food cooks in less time, and the bottle or natural gas line suddenly “lasts” much longer. A monthly cleaning routine can translate into significant savings over the year, especially if you depend on bottled gas. It’s a small habit with a big impact on your wallet and on the comfort of your kitchen.
