minus-squareKorhaka@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 hours agoI 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.

minus-squaresin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 hours agoSeems like a pretty shitty gas stove, to be honest.
minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-29 hours agoGuess 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.
minus-squareKorhaka@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 hours agoHuh, never seen an electric cooker that is full on/off. That sounds terrible.
minus-squareRamRabbit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 hours agoYeah, a good number of electrics do that. 100% or 0%, and they pulse between the two. I think the core thing I have learned is getting a decent gas stove is easy. But it’s real easy to get a shit electric.
