Question

What goes under the pot costs more than what goes inside it?

Answer 1

Answer:

It means that the cost of what is being cooked is much lower than what is being used for cooking that.

Answer 2

With a growing population and the pace of the global developments taking wings, the cost of food touched a new height, all time high. Amazingly, the cost of cooking-gas overtook that of food-grains, fish, meat and vegetables, thus the fuel to cook – gas, firewood and electricity – now costs more than the raw-food.
