Brilio.net - Running out of LPG gas (LPG) in the middle of cooking time is really annoying. Moreover, if you don't dare to replace the LPG gas cylinder yourself and there is no one who can help, cooking will automatically be delayed. This is normal, because the process of replacing a gas cylinder with a new one is not always smooth.
There are times when the new gas cylinder actually leaks even though the regulator is installed tightly. Many people are confused about how to solve it. This is also often experienced by netizens on the TikTok account @gnd.shop. He admitted that he had tried various tricks but they never worked.
"I've adjusted the position of the regulator and replaced the rubber seal, it still leaks," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @gnd.shop.
One popular trick for dealing with leaking gas cylinders can be practiced by wrapping sewing thread around the lip of the gas cylinder. The sewing thread will later fill the gap in the gas cylinder so that the gas will no longer leak. However, unlike netizens on the TikTok account @gnd.shop, he has other tricks that are much simpler.
The way to deal with leaking gas cylinders is just to add 1 simple tool.
So, to practice tricks for dealing with leaking gas cylinders, you only need one simple tool, namely a rubber band. Cut the rubber band shorter. Make sure the piece of rubber band can be looped around the inside of the gas cylinder hole.
Before inserting the rubber band, first remove the rubber seal that came with the LPG gas cylinder. Only then insert the piece of rubber band.

After the rubber band enters the gas tube hole, continue covering the rubber band with the rubber seal that came with the tube. Press so that the rubber seal fits perfectly into the LPG gas cylinder hole.
Next, install the regulator and lock it until it is completely tight. Then, observe carefully whether there is still a hissing sound or the smell of sulfur coming from the gas cylinder. If it is quiet and there is no smell, it means the LPG gas cylinder is no longer leaking.

How to save on LPG gas usage.
The price of LPG gas is relatively affordable. But, if you waste gas, you'll automatically run out of money, right? Well, below there are several ways to help save on the use of LPG gas for cooking.
1. Use a stove with high efficiency.
Choose a stove with high gas efficiency. A stove with more efficient combustion will produce more heat using a smaller amount of gas.
2. Make sure the gas regulator is functioning properly.
Make sure the gas regulator on the LPG cylinder is functioning properly and is not leaking. Gas leaks can cause waste and even endanger safety.
3. Use a pan with the appropriate diameter.
When cooking, use a pot or pan with a diameter that matches the size of the stove burner. A pan that is too small or too large can cause energy waste because most of the heat is not efficiently absorbed.
4. Cover the pan while cooking.
Cover the pot or pan while cooking to retain the heat inside. This will speed up cooking time and reduce gas usage.
5. Use medium heat.
Avoid using too big a fire when cooking. Use medium heat that is enough to cook the food well without wasting gas.
6. Perform regular maintenance.
Make sure the stove and other cooking equipment are in good condition. Clean regularly to ensure optimal combustion.
7. Cooking large amounts of food at once.
If possible, cook large amounts of food at once. This is more efficient than cooking several times a day.
8. Turn off the stove early.
Turn off the stove a few moments before the food is fully cooked. The remaining heat in the pot or pan will be enough to complete the cooking process without having to use more gas.
9. Pay attention to the layout of cooking utensils.
Arrange cooking utensils efficiently so you don't have to walk back and forth in the kitchen while cooking. This can save energy and reduce cooking time.
