A clogged cooker can lead to poorer efficiency and higher energy consumption, which ultimately translates into higher gas and electricity bills. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to improve the efficiency of your oven and cooker, as well as save money on energy costs.
How to Get Rid of a Clogged Cooker to Improve Efficiency and Save Money
1. Regularly Clean Your Burners and Grates
Why It’s Important: Dirty burners can restrict gas flow, making your cooker less efficient and using more energy. Food particles, grease, and debris can block the holes, leading to an uneven flame.
What to do: Regularly clean the burners to remove any food and grease. You can use a soft sponge, soapy water, or special gas burner cleaners. Also, check the nozzles and holes for debris every once in a while, which can restrict gas flow.
