I've recently switched to an electrical stove, and there's something that bugs the living daylights out of me. Namely, heat transference.

The elements are metal, and so are the pans. Neither of these is particularly pliable, which means that there's very little actual surface contact between the two, so there's probably a hell of a lot of heat loss.

So my question is, is there anything to help with that, like some sort of soft, heat-conductive pad that goes between the two to help with heat transference {for the computer-wise, basically thermal paste, except in solid form}.

Or anything else that works, really.

Regards,
