I usually turn the burner on for a short period to let it warm up a bit. With our stove, 2 or 3 seconds is all it takes. Then, I turn it off again while I place the pot, centering it as best I can on the now warm spot. Then, I set the burner heat where I want it, carefully feeling around the edge of the pot to make sure that it is centered exactly. It's much easier than I feared it would be. Lou
