Sorry, that was poorly worded. What I meant to say is that at 9,100
BTUs/2.67 kW, the OP's burners are twice as powerful as those of a
typical electric range. A standard 6 inch electric element generally
runs in the order of 4,300 BTUs/1.25 kW.

Yes, but I think the 9100 BTU/hr rating on the gas burner is the input
rate of the burner. As a WAG, the gas burner might only deliver 40%
of that power to the pan, while the electric burner may deliver 90% of
its 4300 BTU/hr. Then the two are comparable in heating power.
