Actually, Sheldon is right. I've never done it myself, but I've read
that electric burners work just as well as gas burners, for home stoves.
The trick is to turn the electric burner on high, and leave it there
until it has reached maximum heat, *before* starting your cooking. Once
you start, do not ever adjust the heat on the electric burner until you
are totally done stir frying.
