I'm planning to remodel my kitchen, getting rid of an ancient gas stove in the process. I'd like to stop using gas altogether in the house, due to earthquake dangers, but my memories of cooking on an electric stove multi-years ago are that it was a vast pain due to not being able to adjust the heat of the burners finely enough. Are things better now -- are there electric stoves that can be "fine tuned"? Any other comments? (All these messages about crisping the tops of electric stoves with woks don't sound very wonderful either.....) Karen (decvax, ucbvax, ihnp4)!decwrl!kolling
