True, but the lowest possible setting at which the flame will stay lit is BURN. I lumped BURN and BURN-EVEN-FASTER together into one catagory. sorry. I used to vary the heat by stacking the grates three or four high to get the pan far enough away that the food didn't burn. I don't consider this to be an acceptable procedure. >Seriously, I suspect that the problem is not with the gas stove, but >with the user of the gas stove. True, I guess I'm just picky. I like my food cooked, not burned. I also don't like Carbon Monoxide. _____ |___| the Bavarian Beagle _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!mako!seifert \___/ If God had intended Man to Smoke, He would have set him on Fire. -the fortune AI project
