Guess I was lucky? Our burner had a very low setting, perfect for low heat and reducing things like jams or whatever.

Electric is horrible. It’s either full on or off. No moderation other than time.

Huh, never seen an electric cooker that is full on/off. That sounds terrible.

Yeah, a good number of electrics do that. 100% or 0%, and they pulse between the two.

I think the core thing I have learned is getting a decent gas stove is easy. But it's real easy to get a shit electric.
