everything in between.

YOU DON'T COOK SPAGHETTI THE SAME WAY YOU SAUTÉ MUSHROOMS.
You don't want a sauce to boil when it's supposed to simmer. For best results,
different foods should be cooked over differing levels of heat. That's why, on GE
gas ranges, each burner has its own BTU rating. The high-output burner provides
quick heat-up and boiling—faster than the "high-power" burners found on most
gas ranges. This burner supplies the intense heat needed for the lobster pot, pasta
pan, or wok. At the other end of the spectrum is the ultra-low simmer burner. The
simmer burner provides precise temperature control and the consistently gentle
heating required for delicate foods or sauces. Between these extremes are two all-
purpose burners with a mid-range of power, for cooking over medium heat. It all
adds up to a full range of power, to help you control cooking with a greater degree
of precision. And GE makes it so easy. Simply choose the burner and heat level best
suited to the cooking—Maximum output, Precise simmer, or virtually any point
in between.
