Gas Cook Tops What Are The Best Brands 6237

Simply means you drive with no concern for economics... maybe you speed or idle a lot. Many folks have poorly insulated homes and have exhorbitant heating-cooling bills, hasn't a whit to the BTU ratings of their furnace-AC. Some folks leave their fridge door open while they mull over what to cook, some even go take a leak and forget they left the door open... they waste energy but the BTU rating doesn't change. The burner doesn't care whether there's a pan over it or not. Like your brain cells number about the same as everyones but most of yours have never been engaged, their potential is the same, but they're just sitting there idle, wasting calories. A BTU rating is potential, not a tangible.

Btw, gas burner BTU ratings are very easy to ascertain and with exquisitely precise accuracy... all the testing lab needs do is measure the volume of gas consumed in a particular time period... gas contains a particular number of therms per cubic foot... by therms is how the gas company bills you, NOT by BTUs, they don't care that you light your stove and forget to cook anything (do you know how many light their oven and totally forget to put in the roast, for hours, some get a phone call and go out on a date to get laid, they don't realize the oven is on sometimes for days... doesn't do poo to the BTUs... if they're lucky the roast is still in the fridge). BTU accuracy on a burner is maintained by the regulator and orifice, not the burner configuration. Variables are a result of albreastude, not burner configuration. The BTUs are available the same whether you use them or not. Differently configured burners are for accomodating differently configured pans (and to some degree marketing esthetics, people are impressed by intricate-pretty patterns) and NO other reason whatsoever. Some pinheads even increase the BTU rating of their burners by fiddling with the regulator, orifice, and air shuttle, but that is highly perilous.... but you can't change the BTU rating by fiddling with the burner.... if you drill the holes larger you'd best use a larger pot, BTUs will remain the same but the pattern will be larger, and of course I don't recommend altering the burner either, but I'm sure there are pinheds out there who have. With older stoves, with solid cast iron burners, the BTU rating would decrease as grease clogged the holes, part of the maintenance was to clean out the holes... you'd know it was time because of the flashback, a big poof of flame at the orifice when the stove was lit. Moderen gas stoves are much safer, even safer than electric.
