“Given the small size of the largest element (9”), how is it possible to use a 12” fry pan to cook on this stove top, or is it impossible to use a pan that large? I would like a response from Frigidaire, please, based on facts.”

Flip your pan over and measure the actual burner contact area - on a frying pan this will be much less than the nominal diameter. My "10-inch" non-stick induction fry pan has a magnetized induction contact base of just six inches. And if you're not already using induction, you need to test the cooking surfaces of your cookware with a magnet. I had to buy all new non-stick fry pans and all new saucepans because out of all my cookware, only the carbon steel wok and cast iron pieces worked with induction (as an ordinary magnet correctly predicted).

Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency.
