To see if your pan will allow even heat distribution, try this test.
– Put an inch of water in the pan.
– Place the pan on the cooktop and turn it on HIGH.
– If the water bubbles evenly around the pan, you can count on good   performance.
– If the water bubbles unevenly then that means there are hot spots and poor   heat distribution is likely to occur.
