Gas wok burners are essential for cooking Asian cuisine at home, as they produce larger flames and higher heat output than regular cooking gas burners. They come in two main types, stovetop and standalone, and are best suited for quick cooking tasks like frying.
As Asian cuisine has grown in popularity, more and more people have become interested in making French fries and other dishes that require fast, high heat at home rather than doing it in restaurants. Cooking Asian food well requires a gas burner. These are high power gas powered burners. They come in two main types – stovetop and standalone – and can be identified by their large size, high heat output and the types of foods they are best suited to cooking.
The first identifying feature of a gas burner is its large size. A typical household cooking gas burner is small enough to accommodate a wide variety of cookware, from small saucepans to large saucepans, but a gas wok burner is specially designed to accommodate the wide bottom of the wok. Wok burners come in various sizes, depending on the region. The average in many countries is about 48.3 cm (19 inches) in diameter, and in Asia they can be even larger.
Gas wok burners also produce larger flames and higher heat output than regular cooking gas burners. Some cooking enthusiasts find it fun to watch an expert use a wok burner. In fact, many Asian restaurants place the wok station in full view of the customers. As you would expect from a large flame, wok burners have a higher heat output than domestic gas burners, sometimes 10 times more.
There are two main types of gas burners. One is the commercial type, which is almost always built into cooktops used in professional kitchens. The other type of wok gas burner has two sub-types: range-based and standalone. Models based on the range are built into high-end stoves and are intended for use within the home. A self contained gas burner uses a bottled gas such as propane and is designed for outdoor use.
A final characteristic of a wok gas burner is the specific use for which it was designed. A wok burner produces so much heat that it’s not suitable for long, slow-cooked dishes like soups and stews. This type of burner works best for frying, frying, or other tasks that require quick cooking. Some food enthusiasts who own the external type of wok burner say it takes just three minutes to prepare an entire pan-fried meal. This is why stir-fry recipes usually call for you to do all the prep work before cooking begins.
