Cast Iron Heat Diffuser for Gas Stove, 2 Sizes Included

I switched to glass pots for a low-nickel diet due to a nickel allergy. Foods in glass pots scorches really easily, and can be cold in one spot, hot in another. I ordered 3 different types of heat diffusers to use on my gas stove. These cast iron ones distributed the heat most evenly, and no scorching. By far the best of the ones I tried. Highly recommend.

Great! Securely sits on grill of gas burners. Allows for simmering without soups scorching on bottom of pan. Works as advertised. Wish I’d bought a long time ago!

These are great to diffuse the flame on a gas stove and to calm down the heat while cooking. However, the grates on our stove are squared not round, which is the 'gripping' part to keep them place over the flame. That's why the 4 stars instead of 5. I'd buy again. Just wish they fit better.

My gas range does not have a burner low enough to "just simmer" anything, so I need a diffuser to bring the heat down a notch when making things that require simmering - sauces, soups etc. when a bain marie is just too much work - or not big enough. I have purchased several over the years, and had earlier obtained the smaller of these, which is VERY useful, so when I started to buy a second of the smaller ones, the two together was an obvious choice. These are solid, medium heavy, cast iron with an enamel finish, so they can go in the dishwasher making cleaning easier. I like these better than my others because they are heavier than many I have found, which means they provide a more even heat, the better for simmering. I use two together when I really need to really keep the heat down, and that has worked well. I especially love the larger one because it fits my large stew pot, so I can simmer large batches of sauce, stew, soup with far less attention than previously required, yea! I have also used them as a warmer in the bottom of bread baskets - heat it, wrap it in a towel, put in the bottom of the basket, then put the bread on top to keep bread warm longer at the table. I am ordering another pair of these I like them so well, and who doesn't want both soup AND hot chocolate going in the winter?

Yes, these are wonderful to have and use. Thank you, MaryAine

They really work for me. I have a gas stove so most of the time I'm simmer something (i.e., burping beans, etc.) And it does even out heat with the small one.

Worked very well on my gas range. Helped with simmering.

I purchased these to use on my Verona stove because all the burners run way to hot and even on the lowest settings they are too hot. These fit fine on my cast iron grates and I like the fact that they come with the little removeable handles because I am able to pick up and move at hot plate off the burner or add a cool plate to the burner without getting close to the hot metal. The only thing I don't care for is they smell pretty bad when you first start to use them and they continue to soot or have a black flaky residue come of the bottom and fall on the stove top when you move it around. And make sure to wash these with something you don't want to reuse at the black soot will stain your rag/sponge etc. Overall they serve their purpose and were cheaper than the brand that went with my stove. I may purchase two more in the future.

Cast Iron, coated will last forever Completely solved heat issues

heavy duty works wel

The diffusers may heat up so you need to control your burner so as to control the diffusers and they don't heat up to much.

Good quality product delivered on time

Product was what I wanted only problem was someone had removed one of the handles before I received the package.
