LPG-Induction Alternatives: These kitchen appliances can also be used for cooking; know details
Amidst reports of LPG shortages in India, the use of induction cooktops in households has surged.
New Delhi: Amidst reports of LPG shortages in India, the use of induction cooktops in households has surged. People are increasingly turning to induction cooktops for cooking as an alternative to LPG cylinders. Those who already owned an induction cooktop have ramped up their usage recently, while those who did not are now purchasing them from the market.
However, people have largely overlooked the fact that, apart from LPG cylinders and induction cooktops, there are several other appliances available in modern kitchens that can be utilized for cooking—including air fryers, microwave ovens, and electric kettles.
Can You Cook Meals in a Microwave Oven?
If you have, until now, used your microwave oven solely for reheating food, you might be surprised to learn that it is also perfectly capable of cooking entire meals. Microwave ovens come equipped with various modes; by utilizing these different settings, you can prepare a wide variety of recipes. You can even use a microwave oven to bake items such as cakes, pizzas, and biscuits.
Can You Prepare Healthy Meals in an Air Fryer?
Nowadays, many people use air fryers to prepare healthy meals. However, they often forget that this appliance allows for the preparation of a vast array of dishes without the need for a gas stove. Everything from samosas to *Paneer Tikka* can be easily prepared in an air fryer.
How to Utilize an Electric Kettle?
Electric kettles are typically used for heating water. However, beyond just heating water, they can also be used to warm up milk. Furthermore, an electric kettle can be used to prepare instant noodles (such as Maggi). It is worth noting that the base of the kettle contains a metal coil or plate, known as the 'heating element.' When electricity flows through this element, it heats up, thereby warming the water contained within the kettle. Using this method, you can also boil eggs or prepare oats. In the absence of a gas stove or induction cooktop, an electric kettle serves as a convenient solution for preparing quick and simple meals.
