MikeLM,
I feel your pain. We'd have to run a new line and use expensive propane to get gas out here. So after 1 1/2 years with a GE Profile electric, we've found almost everything gets sauteed at about "2." If we want to bring something up to a simmer, we start around "4" and then watch to see if it needs to go back down to "2." We boil water for pasta at the highest setting and forget about all those other numbers inbetween. And, other than boiling pasta, we NEVER EVER walk away from anything on the stove top for very long.
