Keep Your Stove Flame Blue: A Guide to Safe and Efficient Cooking
The color of your gas stove’s flame is a key indicator of its performance and safety. A blue flame signals efficient combustion, while red or orange flames point to problems that can waste gas, damage cookware, and release harmful gases. Here’s how to ensure your stove burns blue, plus FAQs and tips for safe, efficient cooking.
🛠️ Understanding Stove Flame Colors
Blue Flame: Indicates complete combustion. Gas and oxygen mix properly, burning cleanly and efficiently. This saves fuel and heats cookware evenly.
Red or Orange Flame: Signals incomplete combustion, which can:

Blacken pots and pans with soot.
Slow heating times.

Safety Note: If you see red or orange flames, open doors and windows immediately to ensure good ventilation and reduce the risk of CO buildup.
