225g net fill — more gas than the standard can
Every butane can prints two weights: gross (can + gas) and net (the gas you actually get). Net is the one that matters, and it is where cheap cans quietly cut corners.
| Can | Net fill | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| ZORACook can | 225g | Above the Indian standard — more burn time per can |
| Industry standard | 220g | What a normal good-quality can holds |
| Cheap unbranded cans | 180–190g | Up to 20% less gas, often at the same price |
A 190g can at the same price is not cheaper — it just runs out sooner. Always check the net figure on the rim, not the gross. How to check a can properly: CRV valve, seal and fill check guide.
Features
- 225g net fill — above the 220g Indian standard, so you get more cooking time from every can.
- CRV safety valve — vents pressure before a can can rupture in heat. Many cheap cans skip this entirely.
- Standard cassette fitting — clicks into any cassette-type portable stove sold in India, not just ZORACook stoves.
- Doubles as torch fuel — one can refills a handheld butane torch several times over.
- Clean burn — butane leaves no soot on your pans and no smell on the food.
- Nothing else needed — no LPG pipeline, no regulator, no electricity.

How to use
With a portable stove
- Check the can is not dented and the rim seal is intact.
- Open the stove's canister housing and put the lever in the unlocked position.
- Line up the notch on the can's collar with the guide inside the housing — the can seats only one way round.
- Lay the can in flat and push the lever down until you hear a firm click. No click means it is not seated — do not light it.
- Turn the knob to ignite, then adjust the flame with the same knob.
- When finished, turn the knob fully off, let the burner cool, then release the lever and lift the can out.
To refill a butane torch
- Turn the torch off and let it cool completely.
- Hold the torch upside down and keep the can upright.
- Press the can's nozzle into the torch's refill valve and hold for 5–10 seconds.
- Wait about 2 minutes before lighting, so the gas settles.

Safety instructions
- Ventilation. Use only in a well-ventilated space. Never inside a closed room, a tent or a car.
- Heat. Store below 40°C and out of direct sunlight. Never leave a can in a parked car in summer.
- Pan size. Do not use a pan wider than the stove's supports — trapped heat can overheat the can underneath.
- One can at a time. Never fit a second can, and never warm a can to speed up the flow.
- Damaged cans. Do not use a dented, rusted or leaking can. Never puncture or incinerate a can, even an empty one.
- Children. Store out of their reach.
- Travel. Not permitted on flights and restricted on trains — buy fuel at your destination.
What this butane can is used for
- Portable stove cooking — camping, trekking, picnics and terrace cooking with no LPG connection needed.
- Power-cut and LPG backup — keep a can at home so a cylinder running out mid-meal is no longer a crisis. See our LPG backup guide.
- Hostel and PG kitchens — where a full gas connection is not allowed or not practical.
- Torch refills — one can refills a handheld butane torch several times for crème brûlée, dhungar smoking, roasting and light soldering.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams of gas is in a ZORACook butane can?
225g net fill. That is above the 220g Indian standard, and well above the 180–190g found in many cheap unbranded cans sold at the same price. Always compare the net weight, not the gross weight printed beside it.
What is the price of a butane gas canister in India?
A single ZORACook cassette-type butane gas can is ₹199 with free delivery across India. Multipacks bring the price per can down — the Pack of 12 has the lowest per-can price at ₹133.25.
Is this can refillable?
No. Butane cans are single-use — once empty they are disposed of, not refilled. What gets refilled from this can is a butane torch.
Which payment methods do you accept?
All of them — cash on delivery, UPI, credit and debit cards, wallets and net banking. Delivery is free across India with no minimum order value.
How long does one butane can last?
On a portable stove, roughly 2–2.5 hours of cooking on a medium flame — about 1–1.5 hours on a high flame and 3+ hours on a low simmer. In a torch, one can refills it several times. Full breakdown in our butane burn-time guide.
Will this fit my stove or torch?
Yes, if it uses the standard cassette-type connection — all ZORACook stoves and torches do, as do most cassette stoves sold in India. Do not use threaded screw-on canisters, which are a different standard and will not connect. See cassette vs screw-on.
What is a CRV valve and why does it matter?
CRV is a safety valve on the can's rim that vents pressure before a can can rupture in heat. Cans without it are riskier in Indian summers and in a car boot. Ours has it.
Is butane gas safe to store at home?
Yes, when stored correctly. Keep cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flame. Never store in a parked car in summer. Keep out of reach of children. Do not puncture, incinerate or use a dented or damaged can.
Can I carry a butane can on a train or flight?
No. Butane canisters are pressurised flammable goods and are not permitted in checked or cabin baggage on flights, and are restricted on trains. Buy fuel at your destination instead — details in our travel rules guide.
Does butane work in cold weather?
It weakens below about 5°C because butane stops vaporising readily. Fine for most Indian conditions, but for hill trips see our cold weather guide.
