"People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry", and three meals a day are the foundation of life. In order to facilitate the cooking of three meals a day, most kitchens are equipped with gas stoves.
Many home gas stoves are designed with two stoves, left and right. When many people use gas stoves, they are more casual and can use them however they want.
In fact, the left and right cooktops of the gas stove have different uses, and the left and right cooktops of the gas stove should be used correctly. It can not only improve the efficiency of cooking, but also reduce safety hazards. It can even improve the taste and quality of the dish.
First, the original intention of the design: the function of the left and right stoves is different
1. Firepower configuration
When designing the gas stove, the reasonable distribution of fire is taken into account.
Generally speaking, the stove on the right has more firepower, which is suitable for frying, stir-frying and other cooking methods suitable for Chinese.
The stove on the left has relatively little firepower, which is more suitable for cooking soups, stews and other cooking methods that require a long time.
In order to meet different needs, the left and right cooktops are reasonably allocated with firepower when designing. In this way, different cooking needs can be met, and the use of gas is more efficient and energy-saving.
2. Spatial layout
The cooktop on the right, usually at the edge of the kitchen countertop. Therefore, stir-frying on the right stove reduces the risk of collision and facilitates the development of the action.
The stove on the left is more suitable for slow cooking for long periods of time. In this way, you can avoid the inconvenience caused by frequent operation and make it easier to stir-fry at ordinary times.
2. Safety considerations: reduce the occurrence of accidents
1. Reduce the probability of scalding and collision
Just imagine, most people use their right hand to stir-fry. If you use the stove on the left to stir-fry the food, and the stove on the right has a pot on top of it and simmers. When stir-frying, if you are not careful, you will touch the hot pot, and it is easy to bump or burn.
Therefore, stewing soup on the left and stir-frying on the right is safer to operate and can effectively reduce the possibility of overturning the pot or burning.
2. Reduce the diffusion of oil smoke and odor
When we make soup, we produce a constant stream of water vapor. If you stir-fry on the stove on the left, the smoke and moisture will mix. This can easily affect the air quality in the kitchen and stain laundry.
3. Efficiency: improve the speed of cooking
1. Increase cooking speed
The design of the left and right stoves can effectively increase the cooking speed, when you need to fry on high heat, put it on the right stove, and when you need to simmer on low heat, put it on the left stove.
In this way, there are no conflicts and they can be done at the same time, saving a lot of time.
2. Save energy consumption
By matching the left and right cooktops, you can not only improve the efficiency of cooking, but also reduce the waste of gas.
When stir-frying, use the stove on the right, which has strong fire and consumes more gas. If you want to make soup, you can use the stove on the left. Simmer over low heat, which saves unnecessary energy consumption.
Fourth, from the perspective of health: to ensure food nutrition
1. Avoid nutrient loss
When cooking, the amount of fire directly affects the nutrition and taste of food.
Stir-fry on high heat to quickly lock in the moisture and nutrients of food. However, high temperatures also tend to destroy the nutrients of water.
And simmering over low heat can better retain the nutrients of the food. Cooking soup and stew over low heat on the stove on the left can better preserve the nutrients of the food.
2. Diversity in cooking
By making good use of the characteristics of the left and right cooktops, you can achieve a variety of cooking.
Depending on the characteristics of the ingredients, choose the most suitable cooking method. When stir-frying, use the stove on the right, and the high heat can keep the vegetables tender.
When making soup and stewing, use the stove on the left to make the soup richer, retain nutrients, and taste better. Healthier, tastier ways of eating can be achieved.
Summary at the end of the article
The stir-fry on the stove on the right can not only make reasonable use of space, but also improve the efficiency and effect of cooking, improve safety, and reduce kitchen accidents. In addition, it saves energy and keeps food nutritious and tasty.
