Our battery completely changes that equation. Whether it's hooked up to a 120V or 240V connection, our battery charges gradually while you're not using it. Then, when you're ready to cook, it can quickly release the power it's stored up to achieve astoundingly high performance. We're talking 72,000 BTU/h. Compare that to 18,000 for the best gas stoves.

Apparently the battery is only good for "three meals". But the idea is not bad, just overpriced a lot.

How many meals are you cooking consecutively, lol?

Edit: ah, you're talking about during outages. Still, 3 isn't bad. It would be cool if it was set up to charge off DC power, too

This looks like something I can put on top of my gas stove, so I could have gas as a backup still.
