gisburnuk said:Hi, I'm new to this forum and I would like to start off by saying 'hello
to everybody who loves to cook'.I own a simple gas cooker with grill and hob and I have cooked a
variety of vegetables and meat on it over the past five years, and yet
for some reason the meat or food that I have cooked have began tasting
very differently.
In describing the taste I would say it tasted very much like natural
gas, ie the type of gas used in the home.
On eating the meat the 'gas' smell was also remain especially during
instances where I had burped (excuse me).
This experience has put me off using my gas cooker because I was sure
is the source to the problem, I'm also worried about the health issue
to this problem because natural gas isn't really suitable to eat.
I'm also confused because natural gas like any other gas doesn't
usually become soluble, so how can natural gas form on my food and thus
contaminate it?This now brings me to my questions.
Has anybody encountered this problem while cooking using 'gas'?
Is their a different source to this problem?
Our their health issues that I should consider due to this event?
Quite possibly Mental Health issues, as in lack of knowlege. Natural
gas has no odor, what you smell is added (for safety). Your stove may
have a gas leak that lingers even after closing the valve (some older
appliances weep that way) and could be what you're smelling while you
eat. Notify your gas company.
