That's what most people do. But if you learn how long the burners stay hot
you don't have to move heavy pans of stuff around. If you're using all four
burners you might not have anywhere to put them. Plus if you're cooking on
retained heat even for a couple of minutes you're saving electricity.

Turn a perceived disadvantage into an advantage.
