There’s low heat and there is low heat.

July 5th, 2009

My friend Ronnie in Hong Kong was complaining to me the other day that he always burn his creme anglaise (ice-cream base) on the stove. I was puzzled cuz I would always leave mine on low heat unattended for minutes at a time. Then I looked this up: This is the lowest end of some of the gas ranges you can get in Hong Kong. It cost about $150 USD but is capable of providing almost 18000 BTU, the equivalent of what a Viking can produce. So unfair.
