I started wondering how big the difference was between gas and electrical so I tried to find out.

The biggest range on my stove top (9 inches) delivers 2100 watt (or joules/s) which I think is pretty standard. 2100 joules is 2 BTU (1.99 really but shush)I think gas ranges are normally measured in BTU/H so multiply that with 3600 and you get 7200 BTU/H from my electrical range. A quick google search suggested that a high output burner for gas ranges delivers around 15000 BTU/H I must say I was surprised that the difference was that big.

I'm sticking my hopes to better efficiency on electrical ranges so that the difference in actual heat delivered is smaller than those numbers suggest...

Anyway, I can't say I have ever seen lack of heat as a problem. Off course I can't use a wok because of the shape, but I'm certain my cast iron on full heat delivers enough wok hai for a stir fry for two. But I may just be defensive now after the above results on energy consumption...


Nice thread anyway, I'll follow this for sure. Hope to see information on even more ingredients and also some non-stir fry recipes :)
