Brilio.net - Stoves , especially gas-powered ones, have become the main tool in the cooking process in many households. Its practicality in producing heat quickly and easily makes gas stoves the main choice in the kitchen. However, although gas stoves are very helpful, there is one obstacle that often arises, namely the supply of gas cylinders that can run out suddenly, hampering the cooking process and adding to the difficulties in the midst of daily activities.
When the gas cylinder runs out, many people find it difficult because they have to wait for a replacement cylinder or go to a gas sales place. This is certainly very annoying, especially when you are busy cooking or want to prepare food in a short time. This is why some people start looking for other alternatives to cooking without relying entirely on gas stoves.
Luckily, there are a variety of solutions that can be used as alternative cooking. Some people choose to use electric stoves or even portable cooking equipment such as induction stoves and electric ovens. In addition, cooking methods using tools such as slow cookers or pressure cookers are also increasingly popular.
But if you don't have some of these tools, there are other ways that can still be done. This method was once shared by Instagram user @tipsemak2 in one of the videos uploaded. He admitted that he only needed one simple ingredient to cook without a gas stove or other electronic devices.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @tipsemak2 on Thursday (6/2), the simple ingredients used are alcohol-based liquid ingredients. You can use spirits, methanol, or even alcohol. Well, besides these ingredients, you also need to prepare some tools, such as a metal jar lid and a stove stand.

Next, take the lid of the jar and place it upside down. After that, also place the stove stand on top of the lid of the jar. This stove stand is used as a support for the cooking utensils to make them more sturdy and not easy to spill later.

If the tools are arranged properly, continue pouring the alcohol liquid into the inside of the jar lid. After that, burn it with a lighter. Well, the resulting fire will appear blue, like a stove fire in general. With a large enough volume too, you can use the fire for cooking.

In the video, Instagram user @tipsemak2 uses it to boil water. Who would have thought that the water in the boiling pot could actually boil. In addition to making food cook quickly, the resulting fire also tends to last, so you can use it to cook various kinds of menus.
In addition to this method, you can also use other ways to cook without a stove. This was once explained by one netizen in the comments column of the video. He admitted that he usually uses used cooking oil and tissue as a substitute for a stove for cooking.
"If that's the container, pour the alcohol, put the tissue in, then pour the used cooking oil until the tissue is soaked in the oil, then add fire... the tissue will burn due to the used cooking oil... try it first, ma'am," said Instagram user @tiararpduano.
