Maybe you can win the lottery or something. In my job I have occasion to talk to a lot of people with really nice homes. Some of the kitchens are just amazing. Those million dollar houses can be pretty nice sometimes.
Some other thread said that surge protectors actually save money by not allowing the extra current in to your system. If I had the money I would get one. We lost a TV to a lightning strike.

Thanks Ed. I will definately be checking on that!
Pull a burner knob off. If the shaft is "hollow" look down into the hole and see if there is a "screw" inside. If there is then it *should* be adjustable...
Put the burner knob back on and turn the burner on, turn the burner to the low setting. Now take the knob back off with the burner still lit. Slip a small/narrow screwdriver into the shaft and turn the screw to adjust the flame down to where you want it (not so low that you can easily blow it out, though). When you have it like you want it replace the burner knob and your done.
The "high" setting will remain where it was but your new "simmer" setting will be lower than it was before.
As usual, if you decide to accept this mission...you're on your own!

I just saw this post! I will check this out tonight when I get home. I hope my stove has this option.
