User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars cast iron defuser
For people with glass top stoves, this cast iron defuser is essential. I do alot of steam canning and this defuser keeps the canner from sticking to the stovetop. The only thing that i have found, though, is that the paint on the defuser began to bubble up and slough off onto the bottom of my canner. But, all in all, i like this defuser.
4 Stars Works well
We bought this heat diffuser to go with our Bodum Santos coffee maker, because we have a gas stove. It works very efficiently.
5 Stars AMAZING COOKING AIDE
I bought this heat diffuser years ago. It is an invaluable cooking device that sits on top of my gas cooktop burner. I use it for soups, sauces, stews, oatmeal, spinach; nearly everything that needs to cook for a while. It takes the worry out of burning items and prevents things from boiling over. It is worth its weight in gold. I really should have two of these diffusers when preparing multiple dishes. Yes, it does discolor, but that isn’t bothersome to me. I love the antique look. Buy it. You will wonder how you ever cooked without it.
3 Stars Paint bubbles other than that it worked fine
Not sure if it was me or the defuser but after using it for about a 1/2 hour with my tagine the paint bubbled and chipped off. Still worked well. However, don’t like the paint thing. Not sure why it has the paint in the first place.
4 Stars It works!
It works like promised. I have a gas stove that runs on propane, producing a high flame even on simmer. This takes care of the problem giving a true simmer. There is some discoloration after you use it and it can get VERY hot - be careful after cooking.
