Gas cartridge: use the lemon method
As we just said, in addition to checking that the gas bottle is full, you must also make sure that your burners are well cleaned. And by cleanliness we mean not only that of the hob and grills but also that of the burners and nozzles which is essential.
In particular, these are the components from which the gas comes out. After that, the ignition of the spark burns the fuel and in this way the flame is generated that allows you to cook. So, if these are clogged with kitchen grease, they will not work properly and could cause you to lose gas.
Cleaning them is not that difficult. First you have to remove the grates and burners. Some models do not have the nozzles right away and therefore in the case you have to equip yourself with a screwdriver to be able to unscrew it and clean it better. Once you have everything prepared, just take a lemon.
Take a lemon and cut it in half. Go and remove any seeds present inside then pour a few drops on the nozzle , it can be one but also several if the burner is larger. Leave it to act for a few minutes then take a very fine needle that you can plant inside the tip.
As you will see the nozzle will be much clearer now and you can also repeat the operation. Then pass a tissue and go and remove the excess lemon when you are done. You will probably find your tissue dirty since the lemon also dissolves the accumulated grease.
Now you can put everything back together and check that everything is working properly. This way, the flame should come out better and adjust more easily. Now all you have to do is check if the gas bottle will last you at least four more months. All you have to do is try and believe it.
