Question about heat transfer

I have a CI skillet that is not a spinner. As a matter of fact, it bows up in the middle about 1/32 of an inch. It has a 9 inch bottom and the burner on my glasstop stove is 9 inches--seems like a perfect fit. However, when I cook grilled cheese sandwiches in it, they get done faster in the middle of the pan than toward the edges. I have to flip and move a sandwich around to get it done evenly. That was not a problem with my SS pan.

Why is this? Thanks. :icon_scratchchin:
 
A wild guess would be that you're not giving it enough preheat time. Ever since I bought one of these I've found it indispensible. Just point and shoot. You get an instant reading at the spot the laser is pointing at. It's a great tool matching the right size burner for a given skillet, figuring out good burner settings, and finding good preheat times for a given skillet on a given burner.
