High flame burners power through that cool-down phase, so that the food starts to cook immediately upon hitting the pan and never lets it cool enough to stop cooking. Most restaurant stoves now offer 20,000 to 26,000 BTU rated top burners. As a former manufacturer of high flame cooking equipment, I knew the importance from a cooking point of view of power. Convenience appliances such as refrigerators and dishwashers basically do all the work, but they all do it the same way. A cold beer is a cold beer.
Cooking is very different.
It is a creative exercise filled with experimentation, individuality, and successes and of course failures, but the fun is in the trying. It is important to have the right tools to do any creative project right. Choose a stove where every burner offers the most flexibility. Ethnically, many cultures around the world only succeed in their traditional recipes when using high flame burners. With the easy availability of ingredients from around the world at our local grocery stores, isn't it about time that we outfit our kitchens with the equipment that can enjoy those textures and flavors fully.
