How can I lower the flame..it is to high and burns food. I turn the knob to lowest setting and still to high.

Make sure you don't turn the flame too low.Also make sure your tank is working properly

Hold the knob in until burner lights all the way across, still holding it in turn up flame slightly and release should stay light

The problem I had with this cooker, which relates to the above question, is that it doesn't have a low enough temperature. I'd slow cook on low, and the stuff would be boiled to mush in an hour. I suspect the same thing happened with the burned roast. This cooker doesn't go low enough. I like the suggestion of browning and then cooking the rest of the way on low, but that's still pretty hot. Something needs to keep the bottom of the pan, where I assume the temp gauge is, thinking there are no cool spots.

Hi Carol, you more than likely need to cook with lower temperature. If I cook any higher than med-low food starts sticking. At that level pretty much nothing sticks. If you are still having issues, you may have to re-season the pan. There are tons of articles on the net on how to do this.

yes, you can simmer things without burning them. Turn the knob towards the top of the stove that is how you get your lower heats, turn the knob towards the oven and the burner it hotter.,

It doesn't have to be on LOW low heat, but just not so high the flames spill over the coils. Depending on your burner output, this could be medium or even medium-high, but never HIGH.

Unfortunately Mr. Davis is correct. I have put a small aluminum pan on top of the burner on one side, set the burner to low and proceed. The pan collects the drippings and deflects the fire. It works if you have the time.

It is adjustable but...it doesn't go quite low enough to simmer. When you light it it's on high. Then turn it counterclockwise to lower flame. However, if you turn it slowly back toward off, you can adjust it to a very low flame. Not easy because it goes to off quickly. Overall it's a good little burner.

The flame is adjustable, just like your regular cooktop. I cooked everything from fried eggs on low to stir fry on the little thing and it worked great.

You want to use the lower settings , but like myself you have to try different types of cooking on this cooktop ! It will do just about anything as long as you try different settings

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

The distance from the burner holes to the top of the grid is about 1 inch. On high, the flames will most certainly be in full contact with the pot and spread around the sides of a smaller one. If you find that the Low setting is still too hot, set the burner on High and continue turning the knob slowly towards the off setting and you can get it turned down to a simmer. Just keep an eye on it as it is easily blown out at this lower setting. This burner provides an extremely hot flame and if set properly, will boil water very quickly. I prefer it to the flat top ceramic range in the kitchen and use this burner almost every day for various purposes. REW.

It's pretty darn hot even at its lowest setting. It has cut out on me a few times when I really try and dial it down. Overall a great stove. Super hot.

Sometimes the gas flow is too fast and blows the flame out. Try it at a reduced gas flow.

We just scrape it down, turn up the flames to high and let it cook for about 5 minutes or so. Never had a problem
