How much larger is the pan compared to the burner? My instructions for my
Maytag glass top specifically warns against using a pan that extends more than 2
inches beyond the size of the burner ring and to never cover two burners with
one pan such as a large roaster. Even though she'd done this procedure before
it could have weakened the glass over time and that's why it finally cracked.
