pan fused to ceramic cook top

07/04/10 		First time I used the new to us ceramic cook top, the pan fused to the ceramic, when I lifted the pan off a large chip was left and the pan had the fused glass stuck to the bottom of it. Why did this happen?
I left the pan on the burner, but with the element turned off, was this where I went wrong?

As to why, the sensor thermostat went haywire and kept heating hotter and hotter. These work by sensing the heat of the pan, and when they don't work, this can happen.
You are correct, you should never leave the pan on the "cooling" element.
