Stoves with Sensi-temp burners; they've got a weird little spring loaded disc in the center of the burner. Cant even boil fucking water consistently because it shuts itself off over a certain temperature and doesn't come back on for far too long.
Our stove has those and I've never noticed this; everything takes about the same time to cook as on our last stove, which had the older-style elements. I wonder if it might be a problem with your particular model or brand?
It is in an apartment so its probably a cheap piece of junk (frigidaire or hotpoint, one of those brands i think) but it just cant maintain a high temperature; cant stir fry, cant maintain a rolling boil for consistent pasta, etc
That sounds super frustrating!
