I rarely cook at home, but recently my child has been sick, and I cook at home every day. After doing too much, a problem suddenly came to mind: my cooking skills seem to be not as good as they used to be, and the meals I cook are always not so delicious.
To take the simplest example: the vegetables I stir-fry are soft and not crispy at all. The fried meat is very woody and hard, and if you turn the fire to the maximum, you can't make the effect of "charred on the outside and tender on the inside".
If you think about it closely, it seems that this kind of problem only arose after the most recent move. So I thought that the gas stove in my house was not good, and after a closer look, it was true:
The energy efficiency of my gas stove is only level 2, and the rated heat load is only 4.0kW.
These two parameters determine that the fire power of the gas stove is not large enough, so those dishes that need to be stir-fried will naturally not taste good. Not only that, but the cooking speed will also be slower, and a pot of water that used to boil in 3 minutes now takes 10 minutes.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", this sentence is really not wrong at all. The gas stove doesn't work, so don't blame me for cooking badly. When buying a gas stove, the most important thing is to pay attention to these two points:
(1) Energy efficiency level, be sure to choose a level. Level 1 energy efficiency is not only more gas-efficient, but also more thermally efficient. The flame shape is more stable, and it is not easy to burn into the body of the pot, blacken the bottom of the pot or burn the handle of the pot.
(2) The rated heat load must be as high as possible, and the highest product on the market can be 5.2kW, at least not less than 4.5kW. If the fire is too strong, you can turn it off, but if the fire is not strong enough, there is no way to do it.
