Keep the flame beneath the pan
Why this can help
Flame extending beyond the pan transfers more heat to the surrounding air. A suitable burner and flame can reduce this avoidable loss while cooking.
One possible next step
Choose a burner that fits the pan and reduce a flame that spreads past its base.
What changes the outcome
Keep ventilation and normal cooking safety. The result depends on burner, pan and recipe; no single saving percentage applies to every meal.

Another possibility
Matching the burner and flame to the pan base
Flame extending beyond the pan transfers more heat to the surrounding air. A suitable burner and flame can reduce this avoidable loss while cooking.
