Having a shortage of gas in the kitchen can become a nuisance, to say the least. The time spent in the kitchen can easily double when you are cooking a meal over a stove sputtering flames comparable to a candle.

Portable gas stoves have fallen neatly in place in our homes nowadays, as a cross between convenience and necessity. Among the many options the market has to offer, Dr.Hows compact stoves are the epitome of convenience, due to its portability. 

This handy stove only weighs about 2.8 pounds and has a size of 7.1 inches by 10.2 inches. As many kitchens are already built with a pre-planned layout, the space left for additional appliances is limited. Having a compact stove will guarantee less clutter on your counters and workspace in the kitchen, giving fewer chances to disrupt your flow. 

In general, gas stoves have the upper hand of not depending on electricity, which can also be unreliable. Dr.Hows gas stove uses a standard eight ounce butane canister, so you can cook even when you're in a pinch. To use it, remove the top of the stove and simply twist the canister in from the opening at the back of the stove, and the stove is ready to be used.

To ensure safety, the stove comes with a child lock to prevent it from turning on accidentally. Furthermore, it has a gas-cut-off reset button for extra safety, in case the gas canister has too much pressure. On top of that, to ensure that the gas is used efficiently, it is built to lead the flames in a tornado motion. 

The stove even comes with its own box to help you carry it to places, in case you want to take it on an outdoors trip. In contrast to the black and silver clanky stoves, this stove comes in four different colours such as mint, green, lemon, and pink. Having more colourful options makes it a welcome addition to occasions such as hot pot and other tabletop cooking.
