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.
A 10kw generator will usually have a 20hp engine. Figure 10,000 BTU per Hp for a grand total of 200,000 BTU's just for the generator. Once you add all the other gas appliances in the house, you will probably need a bigger gas meter than the typical house. It is much easier and cheaper to put that in now during new construction rather than do it later.
