Dunno, seems to me a larger diameter pan might cause the "blow-by" flames
from the burner to scorch the lid more..My stove unit has a SS heat shield
that folds down to make into a 'counter' anyhow.  Regardless, my coffee pot
won't sit on the burner like it does on all my other stoves, nor will a lot
of my single serving pans.
  I recall there being a wire "doily thingy that is used on those
glass-topped ranges under some pots...I think one of those would do the job,
if there is no "Check the Archives, dummy", fix that 'everyone' knows about
except us newbies...
  Thanks for the response,
  Don Hanson
