Busy Cooking During Ramadan & Eid? Here Are 5 Tips for Choosing a Safe Gas Regulator!

Undeniably, the use of stoves in the kitchen increases during Ramadan and towards Eid Fitr. Therefore, ensuring kitchen safety becomes crucial. One key aspect to consider is using a reliable gas regulator to support home cooking activities.

Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of how to choose a high-quality and safe gas regulator. As a result, purchasing decisions are often based solely on store recommendations. Abdul Kahar, Technical Director of Destec Indonesia, shares effective tips on selecting the best and safest gas regulator to enhance kitchen safety.

1. Select the most suitable regulator for your kitchen

The first step is to choose the type of gas regulator that best suits your household needs. In general, regulators come in low-pressure and high-pressure types, with information available on the product packaging.

Low-pressure regulators are commonly used for household purposes, such as daily cooking. Meanwhile, high-pressure regulators are typically designed for commercial or business activities, such as culinary businesses that require a fast-cooking system.

2. Purchasing an SNI-certified regulator product

Next, ensure the gas regulator meets the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). This certification is usually indicated on the product itself.

A regulator that complies with SNI has undergone various tests, including locking quality, pressure, and performance tests, among others. In addition to the SNI label, you can also check the Product Registration Number (NPB), which confirms that the product is registered with the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag). One of the regulator brands that meet these standards is Destec, produced by PT Cipta Orion Metal.

3. Choosing a regulator with a strong flat seal

Nearly all gas regulators come with a safety rubber seal designed to prevent gas leaks. However, the quality of these seals can vary. Make sure to choose a regulator with a durable, high-quality flat seal, such as those found in COM, Star Cam, and Des Star regulators.

4. Ensuring reliable customer service

In addition to product quality, after-sales service is also an important consideration. A strong customer support system ensures that any issues or complaints can be properly addressed.

For instance, reputable brands typically offer a clear warranty claim process, provide easily accessible customer service contacts, and offer effective solutions for consumers. You can find this information by carefully reading the product packaging or visiting the brand’s official website.

5. Price reflects quality

Lastly, avoid being tempted by cheap gas regulators. It’s better to invest in a product with a more competitive price but higher quality.

After selecting a safe and high-quality gas regulator, regular maintenance is also essential. Routine maintenance helps extend the regulator’s lifespan and allows early detection of potential damage. Here are some key maintenance tips: place the gas regulator in a dry area, away from moisture, direct sunlight, or heat sources; avoid impacts or sudden shocks to the regulator; clean the regulator regularly to ensure optimal performance; install the regulator according to the manufacturer’s instructions, conduct periodic safety checks to prevent potential gas leaks.

By choosing a high-quality gas regulator and maintaining it properly, you can cook with peace of mind, free from gas leak concerns.
