Gas cook tops are as good as electric cook tops

Most of us are sick of our gas cook tops, it doesn't heat up as quickly as electric stoves.  The truth comes from the BTU rating.  The most powerful/most BTU in the older cook top is about 10,000 to 12,000 BTU,  the new ones are in the 18,000 BTU range.  That's almost twice as powerful as the inferior units.

Some of lesser expensive cook top (less than $600), have the highest burner rated as 11,000 BTU. Once the prices crossed over the $1000 range, the burner rating is in the upward 18,000 BTU, and the 2nd burner rating of 14,000 BTU and the slow heat burner rated at 5,000 btu.

Here are couples that are good for quick stir fry..
