What size is your pan and how large is your burner? Does your pan get hot spots on all of your burners, and does it get hot spots at any burner setting? Since it has only been recently that the hot spots have developed, could there be something different about the way you are cooking or the workings of your burner(s)? Do you have a gas or electric stove?
I agree with the suggestions already given for lower heat settings and longer pre-heating. Preheating in the oven works well and you might give a heat diffuser like this one a try.
It's heavy. Really effing heavy. It's big, it's bulky.
It will boil over any percolator type coffee pot even on low. Get the flame tamer diffusers https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-FT10-Flame-Tamer/dp/B001440WG8/ref=sr_1_1 You're welcome.
It will cook food faster than you can blink. Faster than your gas stove at home. 90,000 BTU of pure propane sucking power. 30,000 BTU per burner. Great for big pots, big groups of people, tailgating.
The rolling bag you can order with it, is somewhat helpful, but the wheels bog down in the dirt. Get one anyway. Reinforce the corners with some canvas and canvas glue. You'll be happy you did. Bring a friend to help you carry it and get a truck to haul it ;)

It is great for higher altitudes because they have manual adjustments behind the burner control knobs to reduce/allow more air into the ports. Easy peasy.
It's overkill IMO. Mine has been abandoned to return to a 2 burner coleman propane stove.
A happy medium would be one of the Camp Chef Mountain Series stoves. High BTU, smaller package.
Don't get me wrong. I love my big ass Camp Chef 3 burner. I just don't need that much. We pre-cook a lot of food. My sister has one as well so if needed for our bigger campouts, they can bring it, I just don't have the room for it and am trying to lighten my load, downsize and make it simpler for my kid and I to camp more frequently while accommodating my RA and other joint issues.
