Most of your gas-infused cooking equipment would be nothing more than stainless steel eye candy if it weren’t for their working gas thermostats. These little devils might not look like much, but they serve an important purpose in regulating gas flow and ensuring you’re always reaching the temperatures you’re aiming for. Both technicians and at-home chefs with a little DIY know-how can benefit from keeping one or two extra gas thermostats on hand, and knowing when and how to switch one out can make a huge difference if a piece of equipment just isn’t living up to its potential.
