Ranges are an essential part of any kitchen. One of the most important features to look at when purchasing a gas range is the burners on the top of the range.
Today, most ranges have four or five burners with different BTU's - British Thermal Units - which are the units that measure the amount of heat energy needed to raise the tempurature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
The BTU's on a range can vary from as high as 18,000 BTU to as low as 5,000 BTU. Naturally, the higher the BTU, the faster you can bring water to a boil.
The average range should have at least one 12,000 BTU burner (power boost), two 9,000 burners and one 5,000 burner.
Most of the 5,000 BTU low burners can go as low as 500 BTU which is perfect for melting butter or chocolate.
The proper mix of the high and low BTU burners is important to fit your cooking needs. Come in to visit your local Derby Appliances store today and meet with a Derby associate to determine the best fit for your needs with regards to BTU's.
