Always make sure to adjust a gas burner's flame so that it touches or is lower than a pot's bottom. There is no reason why the flame should go beyond the bottom of your pan. It is a waste of energy. This has personally worked for and has allowed my cooking gas to stay longer than it used to when we had a helper at home. For some reason some people actually think that the bigger the flame, the faster the food cooks.
If you are using an electric range, put a pan on a cooking element that's thesame size or slightly smaller than the utensil's bottom. Make sure the bottom is flat so that it makes full contact with your cooking pan. Put the burner on high when you begin cooking and lower it down as you finish. In fact, you can turn off the gas a couple of minutes before you get done with cooking. The residual heat will be enough to complete the cooking.
