HIC Kitchen's Heat Diffuser reduces heat from burners on electric, gas, and glass stovetops. Heat is absorbed and distributed evenly to keep foods from scorching in pans with hot spots. It quickly creates a flat cooking surface to balance smaller pots, like butter warmers and espresso makers, and keeps pan handles from getting hot. Sized to fit larger burners, it's perfect for slow simmering foods and sauces without them scorching or boiling over. Its longer stay-cool handle keeps hands safe from heat, then removes easily for compact storage. Made from perforated stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and plastic, HIC Kitchen's Heat Diffuser is durable, sturdy, won't scratch surfaces, and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
