Brilio.net - Sizzling LPG gas cylinders automatically make you nervous, because there is a risk that they could explode. That's why it's important to ensure LPG gas is safe and free from leaks before use. Apart from the hissing sound, a leaking LPG gas cylinder can also be indicated by the smell of sulfur coming out of the tube hole.
Leaking LPG gas cylinders are usually caused by loose rubber seals, so there is a gap for the gas to escape. One solution, you can overwrite the rubber seal with a piece of rubber band. Additional rubber bands can keep the gas cylinder holes free of gaps.
However, unlike the TikTok account user @bia_kenka, this woman admitted that even without rubber bands, she could still handle the hissing LPG gas cylinder with another type of tool. Are you curious about the trick?

Yup, this additional rubber seal is the main tool for practicing tricks to deal with hissing LPG gas cylinders. So, you won't use this additional rubber seal in its entirety, but you have to split it first, then just take half of the rubber seal.

How to save LPG gas.
Saving LPG gas (LPG) at home can be done with several simple but effective steps. Here are some methods you can try.
1. Use an efficient stove.
Make sure your gas stove is in good condition and doesn't leak. Use a high-efficiency stove that uses less gas.
2. Check the regulator and hose.
Make sure the regulator and gas hose are installed properly and there are no leaks. Check periodically to ensure no gas is wasted.
3. Turn off the fire properly.
Turn off the heat immediately after cooking. Use low to medium heat to save gas when cooking food that doesn't require high heat.
4. Make use of a pan cover.
Covering the pan while cooking can speed up the cooking process and save gas. The hot steam trapped in the pan helps food cook more quickly.
5. Cook in large portions.
Cooking large portions at once is more efficient than cooking small portions repeatedly. Heat enough food for several meals.
6. Use appropriate cooking utensils.
Choose pots and pans that match the size of the stove. Cooking utensils with a flat base that matches the size of the stove fire will maximize heat transfer.
7. Heat the water properly.
If you only need warm water, don't boil the water until it boils.
8. Regular maintenance.
Clean the stove regularly so that the flame remains blue and there are no blockages that reduce combustion efficiency.
9. Set the cooking time.
Plan and prepare ingredients before you start cooking to reduce the time the stove is on unnecessarily.
