I have an electric stove here. No matter how careful I am the wort always sticks and burns a bit to the bottom of my pot. Should I invest in another pot with a thicker bottom? It's kind of frustrating and I'm wondering how to avoid it.
Kill the heat and move the pot off the burner. Dump the LME in then mix very very well. I mean VERY well. Beat that wort like you're 15 again. It will help reduce the scorching.
I also have had the same problem with scorching. After each brew I can see the shape of my element on the bottom of the pot.
I'm new here... So forgive me if this is a dumb question. But, when I'm stirring in new ingredients, it's always in the back of my mind not to disturb the surface of the wort. I'm worried about air getting into the hot wort. I think I've read somewhere that that's a bad idea. Right or wrong?
Use one of these - they work like a charm for both boiling and defrosting meats.

75 bucks for a copper plate?
I knew copper was expensive these days but holy hand grenades batman!
There's other options out there too. An aluminum plate would probably do a similar job and be cheaper.
