Summary: 

I'm afraid that I just don't understand these people who can't adjust the gas
flame on a stove.  The stove that I use has to be more than 30 years old and
adjusts from just a little wisp of a flame barely bigger than the pilot, which
might burn something in a week or two, up through many increments to a roaring
blast which gets water boiling in a hurry.  I know that newer gas stoves are
not nearly as nice, but have managed to adjust their flames to the desired
heat as well (although they don't have  the heavy cast iron plates that mine
has to spread the heat out).

On the other hand, I've never found an electric hot plate (or cooktop)
that was worth the tin it was made out of.
