If you need to adjust any settings for flame height, this is a good
case of someone fixing something that didn't need to be fixed.

I've been laughing about all this 'can't simmer on a gas stove'
nonsense. I guess that newer gas stoves have clickable setting for
their burners? Can you not use an in-between setting?

My old gas stove has markers on the burner knobs for low, medium,
high. These are only reference points though and they don't click onto
those settings. I can turn my knob anywhere between those settings.

I can simmer things well. I cook rice by putting it on the lowest
flame....just before it would puff out.

If newer gas stoves don't have the full range of setting, this is a
case of, "it wasn't broken, you shouldn't have fixed it."
