Can someone explain my wobbly bottom

[Major Fallout]

My wobbly pot bottom.
Making some buffalo wings, sauce in the pot, pot on the cooker. And off it goes!

No need to mix the stuff it shakes it about for me, and it never stops.

My guess is air getting trapped and then expanding, or a ghost.

Is there fast paced music playing?

[Major Fallout]

Silence.

Not Delerium.

Hmm... Not a ravy-Davy pot then.

I have an outlandish theory. Every time the side touches the top of the cooker, the liquid boils on that side, creating bubbles, therefore decreasing the density of the liquid on that side, meaning that the other side, bubble free, is heavier. So, from one side to the other, it wobbles...

Send me a cheque in the post.

Heresy!

Actually that sounds quite believable.

What's the bottom like is there an air void?

Its ever so slightly convex.

My thought is the air in the void is heating until there is enough pressure to lift the pan letting the hot air out. It the rocks bac letting a fesh lot of cool air in and the processed starts again.

If you are using an electric resistance cooker (looks like it), perhaps it is to do with an electro magnetic field that is being given off by the heating element and is acting on the pan?

Just had one of those WTF moments. As in...

WTF am I doing here in the office watching a youtube video of a pot bobbling around in a stove???
