It's not possible on my inadequate, crappy old gas stove
either. I cannot make a successful stir-fry on it, it just
cannot be done. I've had lots of electric stoves that
worked for stir-fries MUCH better than this gas stove.

I had a bad attack of jealousy when I saw my not-sister-in-law's new gas
stove--it has a dedicated wok burner in the center, between the four
"normal" burners. It's twice the size and the trivet is curved to hold
the wok steady, so it's safe for deep-frying too. I want!

I even called a repairman to make sure it was functioning
correctly: yep. It's just inadequate. This is VERY
annoying and I hope to get a better stove someday. I used
to make stir-fries for dinner at least twice a week. I
still try it now and then but really, the foods are
*simmered*. Not the same at all.

*Stewed*. I agree.
