is it when the drink no longer "burns"?

I recently purchased a cast iron skillet. I’ve seasoned it according to the directions and have used it about half a dozen times. It’s great for foods that can be stirred, like scrambled eggs.

However, when I cook something that can’t be stirred–such as pancakes or quesadillas–the food in the center of the pan burns, while the food near the edges remains undercooked. I thought that even heating was an advantage of cast iron cookware, so I’m baffled. I’ve tried using low heat, high heat, more oil, less oil; none of that helps. My spouse is about to toss the new skillet and go back to the nonstick. Any ideas?
Thanks for all the help! I’m using a gas stove, and the burner grate is level. I’ve preheated the pan, even to the point where the oil smokes, then backed off the heat.

If I fry fish in cast iron, will the fishy taste stay in the pan?

I know when you put like salt and an ice cube to your skin it like burns and leaves a scare after,
What are some other easy things like that, Just wondering, Its really interesting to me! Thanks for those who answered! And weren’t being dumb.

What exactly "burns" when you drink alcohol? Does the lining of your throat actually deteriorate when you drink? What makes some alcohol go down smoother than others (besides the percentage of alcohol), such as whiskey versus rum, etc.?
