I have a gas stove but unlike many I've seen with a small burner, two medium burners, and a large burner, mine has four small/medium burners. This means I haven't been able to get a really hearty boil going. To put it in perspective, I have to cover the pot to get the boil going; once going I can uncover it but it's a lazy roll not a vigorous boil; I have never had to worry about boil-over (and I dare say I could even cover the pot and it wouldn't boil over).
Is this too weak a boil? To what degree does the strength/size of boil matter?
