Before burning another dinner, use a stovetop heat diffuser. A stovetop heat diffuser can be used with gas or electric ranges. Save your meals and cookware with this simple kitchen tool that acts as a buffer between the cooking range and dinner.
Instructions
1. Make your favorite dish using a terra-cotta or clay pot without worrying about damaging the pot. Put the stovetop diffuser on top of the burner, and set the pot on the diffuser.
2. Use the stovetop diffuser with copper bottom pans to protect your pan from getting hot spots. Maintain the proper level of heat without scorching the pan.
3. Turn any pan into a Dutch oven. When a recipe calls for using a Dutch oven to slowly cook the food, use the stovetop heat diffuser with any type of pan to disperse the heat and allow for a slow, even cook.
4. Keep plastic handles from melting. If you've got a pan with a handle that just always gets too hot, use a large diffuser to ensure the heat doesn't reach the handle.
5. Use the diffuser to braise foods. Opt for the heat diffuser instead of the oven. Keep the house cool without heating up the entire house with the oven.
