Default glass top stove heat pad?

Does anyone make a pad that would go between the pan and the top of
a glass top stove to make up for irregularities in the bottom of the
pan?


Simply pour a thin layer of gallium on the stove.
Then when you turn the ring on, it'll melt, and conform perfectly to
the bottom.
Slight disadvantage is that I think with aluminium pans at high
temperature, you may form an alloy with a low melting point
from the bottom of the pan, so it'll fall out as you lift it.


That won't be a problem... aluminum doesn't heat well on a glass top
stove. Something to do with the control loop for the burners.
