The second important condition - the diameter of the dishes should correspond to the diameter of the burners. It is acceptable to use dishes with a large diameter of the bottom (in this case it will be unevenly heated) and it is strictly forbidden to use a smaller dish size compared to the size of the burner.

Glass and ceramics do not conduct heat well, they heat up for a long time, therefore the use of pots made of these materials is also undesirable.
