Description

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. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957.

    • Worked just as described
Style: Single
First one I ordered came bent. Got in touch with seller, sent another one the next day. I used it the day it came to make stuffed peppers. I make them in sauce and so many times the bottom would burn no matter how low I kept the element. Even with that, it was a constant stirring. This worked perfect. No burnt bottom and didn't have to check so many times. I was afraid at first to use on the glass top, but it was fine. Would definitely recommend and the customer service was top notch. ... show more

    • Wish I found this sooner!
Style: Single
I really like how this lowers the heat on the stove flame. I always had problems on my new stove because the flame was to much even on low setting. I tried this first on cooking rice and it was great. I use it for just about everything now especially when simmering sauces for pastas and so on.

    • YES! I've been needing this for decades! Why did I wait so long?
Style: Single
This is what I've been missing for decades. I'm an avid camper and cooking evenly has always been the toughest part while out in the wild. I don't know why I didn't think of this or use it sooner. I used this multiple times over a three day camping trip and all I have to say is YES! This is a must have for those who are tired of hot spots while cooking and fear of burning. On the trip I cooked steaks, warmed a glass bowl of rice, cinnamon rolls and a calzone. All of it came out perfect for camping. Especially from what I was use to. I'd say this is a great piece of equipment you need in your kitchen gear and for the price you won't regret it. ... show more

    • Say goodbye to burned food.
Style: Single
The media could not be loaded. We bought this because a guy on YouTube said this might fix our issue with our Omnia Oven buring everything. No matter how low we cooked on it burned. I will skeptical, but I thought this might be worth it. Man was that guy on YouTube right. I got it out of the box cooked with it the first day I had it. I tested it with brownies, and they did and it turned out amazing. I'm thinking, if you have issues with hot spots on your pan, or even if you don't, I would say get this item, it's inexpensive and worth every penny. This is also probably my second review, and I buy a ton of things. This was worth leaving a good review and five stars. ... show more

    • Pancakes: An improvement, but I'm using a 14" cast iron skillet and the handle tab on this appears to be tilting it.
Style: Single
Review Image by Melissa B Melissa B
My 14" Cast Iron Skillet Pancake Challenge I found this diffuser on Amazon, that was highly rated, so I ordered one. Tried it today. Carefully centered it on the burner. Had to remove the handle, as it would have tilted the pan. It still seems to tilt the pan a little, which is frustrating. I also had to experiment with the flame all over again, as it really seems to distribute it better, but it looks like the pre-heat for 10 minutes advice is still going to apply. This is a learning curve. The last time I made pancakes without this diffuser, we had switched mixes and I hadn't homed in on the heat settings yet, so I wound up with pancakes that were half burnt ( towards the inside of the pan ) and half raw ( towards the outside of the pan ). As you can see from this new photo today, BIG IMPROVEMENT! BUT NOW it's looking like they're getting less heat on one SIDE of the pan - I'm thinking because of the tilt introduced by the stupid handle tab on this diffuser, Argh! Not sure what to do now. The diffuser makes a BIG difference, BUT I don't like the tab tilting my 14" skillet and making less heat on one side, because of that. I may actually grind and drill out that handle tab, then this may work perfectly for me. ... show more
