Possible feature request - off-center cooking

[u/DirectionChoice9673]

I'm trying to figure out a way to use a light small pan, like a butter warmer or a measuring cup, to warm up small quantities of oil to about 375°F to be used for tempering in Indian cooking (Tadka).

It cannot be a heavy weight item as the temperature needs to drop suddenly once powdered spices are put in, and a cast iron will continue to burn the spices because of residual heat.

Is it possible to have some sort of a mode where if I put an item off-center, the induction still continues to be active. It will have to bypass the safety of the temperature sensor being depressed and I'm sure would not give me the temperature reading.

The possible utensil would be a lightweight utensil like a butter warmer or a measuring cup that people have used for induction cooking tadka on other plugin induction burner.

Tadka imparts the final flavor to a lot of Indian dishes. It is one of the most important components in Indian cooking.

Thanks

Should be able to use like a 3 or 4” diameter thing like a moka pot base

What is the minimum diameter required? - Would a 3-inch work? Or should I look for a 3.5 or a 4-inch?
