The sous vide method yields results that are nearly impossible to achieve by traditional means. In the photo above, both of the tenderloins started at the same weight. The steak on the left was cooked in a pan to a core temperature of 52 Â°C / 126 Â°F, but more than 40% of the meat was overcooked. The other steak was cooked sous vide to the same temperature and then seared with a blowtorch to yield a juicier steak that is done to perfection from edge to edge. Similarly, beef short ribs braised at 58 Â°C / 136 Â°F for 72 hours are melt-in-your-mouth tender, yet pink and juicy.
These stoves typically have capacities from 12,000 to 22,000 BTUs. Commercial-grade stoves generally have six burners and often feature accessories such as griddle plates or burners for indoor grilling. Like conventional gas stoves, they can be adjusted down to about 1,000 BTUs.
Energy consumption and output is measured in British Thermal Units regardless of energy source. BTUs are convenient because each energy is measured differently: LP gases are measured in gallons, natural gas is measured in cubic feet, electricity is measured in kWh, etc.The same goes for price (dollars per gallon, per thousand cubic feet, per kWh).his is easily converted into gallons: one only needs to divide the number of BTUs by 91,574 (number of BTUs per gallon), so a 200,000 BTU/hr furnace will use around 2.2 gallons of propane each hour it is running (this seems like a lot and is only true if the appliance is running at full power all the time).
