A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:
1)type and quality of pan
2)type, quantity and temperature of the food
3)element used
4)the cook’s preference.
208/240 Volt Connection: The Heat Settings recommended on this page are based on a 240 volt power source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.
