Maybe.
A typical 2500W electric burner is equivalent to about 8,500 BTU/hr.
The biggest gas burner on my decent Samsung range is 22,000 BTU/hr.
A high end wok jet ring burner typically found in restaurants (or in some people's homes who like to stir fry) can reach 160,000 BTU/hr.
You can't really get wok hei (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok#Wok_hei https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok#Wok_hei) without that amount of heat and proper preparation & cooking technique.

- toofy 5y agoi wonder if this type of niche use case would be best served by an lp gas tank type situation rather than outfitting an entire building with gas piping. my guess is, most people in most cooking situations would never need restaurant grade stove tops. but like we do now, us nerds with nerdy niche cases will figure out how to do it for ourselves with elaborate projects :p
- AmericanChopper 5y agoThat might seem niche from a Eurocentric perspective, but a gas burner is probably the most ubiquitous cooking appliance around the world. A lot of the worlds cuisine has been developed around cooking on top of one.
- tekknik 5y agoSure, but high BTU (restaurant grade)? Most people are going to have a learning curve as they burn food trying to get used to the insane heat output.
