Thank God for technology! Since the improvements in the level of technology, one of the things Africans won' t like to ever go back to is cooking with firewoods. Cooking with firewoods can be so stressful and besides it is not also healthwise as the smokes can affect or damage one' s lungs. What about the time factor? Cooking with firewood can make you feel pissed off especially when you are so hungry.
To make lives easy for us, we now use gas cookers. Gas cookers are very fast, easy to use and money saving as some even come with inbuilt auto ignition power.
HERE ARE SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO WHILE USING A GAS COOKER
1. Receiving phone calls
This is a very common mistake and it kills faster than Corona virus. Avoid using your phones to receive calls while your gas Cooker is on. If you must, just walk far away to call the person or just keep phones in vibration mode until you are done cooking.
2. Leaving Your Gas Burn Too Long
It is very dangerous and risky to leave your gas cookers burn too long without anything on fire. If you bring your pot down for any reason best known to you, just switch off your Cooker. It will only cost you another stick of matches, if yours is not the autoignition type, to light up the gas cooker again. No amount of matches can replace one's life.
3. Shaking Your cooker
We are Africans and most things we do are so weird. To check the level of gas in our cookers, we often shake, shake and shake but this is very wrong as it can explode in the process. Instead of shaking the cylinder or cooker, just rub water around the cylinder, the top where there is no gas will dry off while the area that remains wet indicates the level of you gas.
4. Overheating cooking oil in a gas cooker
It is also very dangerous to put pot on fire and walking out of the kitchen to pick one thing or the other. You might get carried away with something else and you know gas cookers burn too fast and apart from that, oil when overheated can catch fire. Instead, just turn off the cooker until you are ready to concentrate on the cooking fully.
5. Watching movies
It is also very wrong to be watching movies or chatting on mobile phones while cooking with gas cooker. In no distant time, you will just get carried away and a sing lost of attention can cause hazard in the home. While not let movies or chats wait while you cook to watch later.
6. Using any Acohol based spray
It is wrong to spray any alcohol based spray like insecticides(raide and the likes) while cooking. It is very dangerous as it might cause a fire outbreak.
7. Avoid smoking around burning gas cookers
