Ok topic doesnt explain it well but here is the situation.

If I cook something on my hob in a saucepan usually in water eg. potatoes. I have noticed the water isnt hot enough to let off steam and bubble but some potatoes (at the outer edge of base of saucepan) when done are sticking to it with a black burn mark I have not let the water dry out there is enough for them to float.

With milk there is always 2 burn marks on the outer part of the base after I heat up milk, even when the milk is only luke warm.

So it seems the heat isnt conducting properly? is this a problem with my cooker where its only heating on the outside or is it a poor saucepan?

If I touch the area outside the hob but not the hob itself its always scolding hot after use, I am only using 3 or 4 setting on a max setting of 6 so never using 5 or 6.
