You want a pan with copper or aluminium in the base for good heat distribution.

Cast iron is good too cause it absorbs a lot of heat and also distributes it evenly (but is a slower heat conductor than copper or aluminium).

If you have a real cast iron pan and still experience uneven heating, I'm not sure any pan will help a lot. Might end up being cheaper to replace the cooktop instead.

Cast iron pans heat quite unevenly unless you let them heat soak for a while
