A quality electric makes a big difference fwiw. I’ve gone through several types depending on where I lived. I gotta admit that gas is my favorite to cook on. Just so many ways to control heat, where the heat is, and how quickly the heat can be changed. Most electric cooktops and ovens are shit unless you buy an upper tier brand, and even then heating a big coil under a glass top is inefficient AF.

Just switched to induction. While not the same as gas, and it does have a few peculiarities, it is by far better than standard electric cooktops. Way fast, more efficient, easy. These need to come down in price to help win over people used to gas.

I have found gas consistently shit for cooking at low temperatures because you can't turn it down low enough. Minimum power on the lowest ring, nope, still far too hot right in the middle of the pan.

Guess I was lucky? Our burner had a very low setting, perfect for low heat and reducing things like jams or whatever.

Electric is horrible. It’s either full on or off. No moderation other than time.

Huh, never seen an electric cooker that is full on/off. That sounds terrible.

So put the pan on the edge of the burner…

Now the edge burns instead, while the other side remains cold. How is this helping?
