I am curious about something. So many cookbooks say: Cook on your stovetop on low, medium, high, and temps in between. So I would like to conduct an experiment. If you have an infrared gun thermometer and a cast iron pan, can you put it on a burner on your stovetop, preheat it for about 5 minutes so the temp is even, and point your gun at the center on Low, Medium, and High, and record the temps? Let it sit on each temp for about 5 mins because cast iron heats slowly and (surprisingly) heats unevenly. If you have different burners, you might want to repeat on different burners. Always start with a cold pan, then preheat on Low if you try different burners. Post your results here please. Try to be rigorous in this. I think the results will be VERY interesting, and perhaps newsworthy.
DeusDingo points out flaws in my experimental design. I need to know whether your range is gas, electric, glass top, induction etc. And if your dial isn't marked Low Med Hi, tell us what number you are using like 3 out of 10.
