I nevr thought I coul do really good Asian wok cooking until I got a stove
with a hot enough burner. You want at least 16K BTUs. Highr is better but
you're getting into the professional range category. My previous stove
could put out about 7.5K at best and the results were just so-so. I would
not think you could get that kind of heat from the average electric range.
