Have you ever heard that when you use a gas stove, you have to put the pot on the right side, and you can't stir-fry on the left? The older generation always gives this explanation, so why? Let's unravel this cooking puzzle together and be glad we chose the right one!
First, let's listen to the older generation's explanation. They believe that the left side of the gas stove is not suitable for stir-frying, mainly because of the distribution of fire. According to them, the flame of the gas stove is larger on the right, while the flame on the left is comparatively smaller. Therefore, if the pot is placed on the left side to stir-fry, the heat is not enough, and the ingredients are not cooked, which affects the appearance of deliciousness. Sounds reasonable, right?
But is that really the case? We can prove it right through some experiments. In fact, modern gas stoves are designed to be relatively homogeneous and the fire power is distributed more evenly. Therefore, whether it is placed on the left or right, the ingredients in the pot can be heated enough to stir-fry a delicious meal.
So why do older generations still say this? In fact, it may be the result of Xi and experience passed down over the years. Previous gas stove designs may have had the problem of uneven distribution of fire, resulting in less fire on the left. And when they use stir-frying, they find that the pot on the left is indeed not as good as the pot on the right. As a result, the saying "you can't stir-fry on the left" was formed.
However, for modern gas stoves, there are no strict restrictions, and you can choose where to put the pot according to your Xi and convenience. Whether on the left or on the right, as long as you master the heat and cooking skills, you can stir-fry delicious dishes.
So, if you've heard the saying "you can't stir-fry on the left", don't worry too much. Now that we know that the design of the gas stove has been improved, and the fire distribution is now relatively balanced, we can choose the location of the pot according to our preferences and Xi. As long as you master the cooking skills, you can also stir-fry delicious dishes.
Thankfully, we were able to enjoy the convenience and improvements that modern technology brings. Whether on the left or on the right, we can stir-fry mouth-watering food on the gas stove. Let's rejoice in our wise choice!
Hopefully, the above explanations will give you some inspiration and let us get rid of the shackles of stereotypes and be brave enough to try more ways of cooking.
