it is rated at 9KWHr.


Do you mean 9kW?




No.
It took an hour to cook my Pouisson and Garlic Bread.


Gareth.


Kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy, not a unit of power. As such, it
doesn't make any sense to rate a gas cooker in this way. That is
unless you have something like a barbecue, and you are rating the
energy capacity of the gas cylinder in an unusual way.
