+1Personally, I'd put that pan on a smaller burner if you have one. Sometimes I'll put a pot of rice in a pan that size on a big burner to bring it to the boil, and transfer it to my small simmer burner to finish.

I also do that. I bring things to a boil on Power Boil burner then move to another burner to simmer on low.
+1 That's exactly what I do.My burner with the Power Boil setting still simmers quite well too. Unless I need it for something else, I'll leave the pan right there. But I do often just get it boiling, then shift to the burner next door so I can put a fry pan on the big one. My 12" and 14" frying pans cook well on the larger burner.
I definitely can't use my two larger burners with my T-Fal One Egg Wonder pan, that's for sure.
That burner and pot combo looks about right.
In general, the tips of the burner flame should not extend beyond the bottom of the pot.
Are all your burners the same size?
No, but the two burners in the front are that size. IOW, for all but my biggest pots, I need to use the medium sized back burner or the simmer back burner. That's not how I would have designed the range.
First world problems!
If your burners are NOT properly adjusted, you will continue to have issues.
Our new range has very big burners. Here's one in action with my largest saucepan:
It seems that the flames are really just heating up the outer edges of the pot. Is that reasonable,or should I use the smaller burners in the back?
Thanks.
