The invention provides a gas-saving arrangement for gas-fired cooking equipment (2) including a gas burner (4) connectable to a gas source via a gas tap (10), a support (12) for supporting a cooking utensil (38, 82) in a cooking position and means (14) for igniting the gas, the arrangement including a sensor (16) operating to detect the presence or absence of a cooking utensil (32, 82) upon the support (12) in the cooking position, and an at least indirectly activable gas valve (22), responsive to the sensor means (16), connected to a gas line (20) between the gas tap (10) and the burner (4), whereby, when the sensor (16) detects the absence of a cooking utensil (38, 82) upon the support (12) in the cooking position, the valve (22) is closed and the flame is extinguished. |
