Detailed explanation-1: -Never use a pot that is too small or big for the burner. Never leave a burner on that does not have a filled pot or pan on it. Do not leave an empty pan on a hot burners. Turn all pot and pan handles inwards.

Detailed explanation-2: -You’re using the wrong burner on the gas stove. It’s easy to scorch food if you’re using a smaller pan than is appropriate for the burner, Blechar explained, and if the burner is much smaller than the pan, it will take much longer for the food to cook correctly. Pay attention to the size of the burner versus the pan.

Detailed explanation-3: -Larger pots can be used, but heat is generated only above the burner’s cooking circle. The further the pan extends beyond the cooking circle the less the burner will perform. Using a larger pot will not damage the burner or cooktop surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Smaller burners are best for smaller cookware and for precise, low flame cooking like simmering, while larger burners are best for larger cookware and boiling or faster cooking. The medium-sized burner can typically cover anything in between and is a great, all-purpose burner.
