Be wary of clad cookware if you have a flat smoothtop electric range. In my experience clad cookware much more easily warps and refuses to sit flat, thus losing out on a lot of conductivity and efficiency. Clad is great with gas or induction though where sitting perfectly flat doesn't matter.

Or just stop using 7-10 on the dial (except for a boil). If there was a single thing that improved my cooking, it was learning to stop using Hi all the time.

Funny, if there was a single thing that improved my cooking, it was learning to use high all the time.

The flat bottom clad cookware is the best for me on our smooth top electric range (which I do not like at all). Everything else has some amount of cupping so it’s just hot spot management even with our fancy heavy copper French cookware. But yes I make dang sure I do not warp our clad pans. They must be flat!
