gas, I have a new gas hob and I am struggling to make my beloved vege soup without burning it. Even turning it down to the lowest setting burns it. Any help would be great. thanks Andee.

Have you got a flat stainless steel trivet that you could put in the bottom of the saucepan or perhaps a small saucepan lid upturned (without a knob on it though). That will prevent the bottom burning as the liquid is not sitting directly on the base of the saucepan

In the olden days (we moved away from the house with gas in 1961) we had an asbestos mat to go under pots, to stop them getting too hot

As #2 says trivot works fine for me, better still if you have a Slow cooker put it in that.

I have a steel plate which is hollow, I put that on the gas then pot on top of that spreads the heat. Works well.

I just use a cake cooling rack on top of the element - although I have an electric stove so probably not much help for you,sorry.
