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'?
Our grill is a natual gas one, the same kind of gas we heat our home
with. We haven't had a problem with any odor remaining in the food.

Is their a different source to this problem?
My idea would be to check the burner and see if it burning clean. The
flame should be blue. If it orange the burner needs cleaning. Another
problem may be a couple of blocked holes in the burner so the gas isn't
being distributed evenly. I don't know if either would cause the
problem you describe. You might want to check the gas line as well just
in case you have a small leak. Perhaps your gas company could help you
troubleshoot further.
