Newfag here. What is medium low/medium high heat? I can't tell what that means on my stove.

Medium low is just above medium and just below medium high
Medium high is just above medium low but not too far above medium
Medium is just below medium low and just above low medium

just cook everything on high, it'll come out ok

So since medium is 5(?),medium low would be what, 6? Or is that wrong?

sorry, I meant medium low.

No, medium low is just above low high (which is low). It's not quite medium, though. And it's below soft medium.

You look at the flame, not the numbers; the numbers are completely irrelevant.

It's an electric stove.

In that case,

>on the heat, off the heat
