Hello,

I have a Maytag Gemini with a glass-ceramic cooktop. It says in the
users manual not to use a pan with a bottom larger than the element by
1/2 to 1 inch.
The largest element is 9 inches. I need to use a 4 gallon stock pot
and I can't find one that is less than 11 inches.
My question is, what happens if you go over by 2 inches? will it
damage the element or just not cook correctly?
I will be using a very flat bottom stock pot.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
