Interesting… if that’s true, then you can know what temperature each setting on the knob is.

I wonder if this is true for all electric ranges?

Is this true?? I always assumed that electric ranges simply had a variable duty cycle controlled by the knob. That would mean that if you want to get a pot up to a specific temperature, the fastest way is to set the knob to high until you reach the temperature, then reduce the knob to the desired temperature.

This is different from how an HVAC works, where you set an actual temperature and the HVAC runs until that temperature is reached.

But I could be totally wrong about how electric ranges work.
