## Description

This convenient heat diffuser is a must-have for all cooks! Made of enameled cast iron, It absorbs direct heat and distributes it evenly and consistently, eliminating the need for frequent stirring, while cutting down on sticking and burning. The diffuser is suitable for all types of cookware, from stainless steel to Ceramic, and can be used on most burners. Includes removable stainless steel handle. Not dishwasher-safe. Wipe to clean. Not induction-ready.

Review: It distributes the heat. - Works well! Good for braising.
Review: Used Properly, This Plate Is Awesome! - I needed something for warming my keto pots in such a way that they wouldn't boil and burn with hot-spots from my gas range. No matter how low I'd set the gas, it would eventually make the pot boil. When I make a 3-quart stock-pot full of chicken thighs, sausages, stock, spices, and lots of different kinds of vegetables, one pot can last me for five meals. Great for losing weight and/or keeping it off but when it boils it doesn't taste as good for those last few meals. This plate is absolutely perfect for warming anything from low to medium heat and looks brand-new after repeated uses. I don't think you need one for high-heat type use, just cook over the naked flame for that, but for warming and simmering things, this plate is perfect. Bonus: The cast-in ridges on the bottom really grip the range-top grate beautifully and creates a rock-solid base for your pot or pan. Excellent product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on a gas burner that doesn't have coils?  I bought a different one and it said to only use on gas "coils".**
A: yes that is what we use it on, gas with flame!!

**Q: It seems like the hole in the center of this will still cause a "heat spot"~am I correct? Reviews on the 7inch says it flakes, same for this one?**
A: I have had nothing but success with this diffuser. THere is not a hot spot in the middle. When you use it on a gas stove the flame comes out of the stove in a circle bigger that the hole in the middle. Haven't had any problem with flaking. Worth the $. :)

**Q: Can anyone upload the 'removable' handle?  Is it easy to use?**
A: found the removable handle a bit awkward but the diffuser works great especially on the prep of slow cooking stews and soups.

**Q: Most reviews refer to gas ranges.  Can this diffuser be used for cast iron cookware on an electric ceramic smooth top range?**
A: No, I don't recommend using it on an electric ceramic range. I think the diffuser is really for a gas stove. When I had a ceramic range I had to get rid of my cast iron and copper pans because the instructions said not to use them. Perhaps yours is different. Mine was a GE and I also had a Dacor. I think the cast iron diffuser would scratch the top and possibly the cast iron pan would also scratch it. I think the diffuser would be okay for a cast iron pot or pan just not on a ceramic top or coils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Happy with These :D
*by L***W on September 20, 2014*

I have both sizes of the Ilsa diffuser- the 8.25 and the 7 inch. Although I already have solid electric elements on my 'antique' canning stove, I wanted a bit more protection from direct heat for my Pillivuyt cookware. I don't cook foods quickly and prefer to cook them on a lower heat very slowly. These do take a few minutes to heat up but if you're patient chef, you won't mind. My pillivuyt cookware performs exceptionally well with these. I also have a Tagine that performs well with these. I usually turn the stove on and let the diffuser warm while I'm preparing food. I wanted to note that while the 7" fits like a glove over my small stove element, the 8.25 does not and sits on top of the large element creating a slight air space between heat source and diffuser (The small 7" surface makes direct contact with the solid element on my stove) Despite the 8.5 inch larger size, the bottom rim that it sits on is the exact same size as the 7 inch. The only difference is that the larger size has an additional rim on the surface that extends beyond the 7" bottom rim. The overall size is the same diameter of my large element but again, it sits on top of the element and the top surface does not make direct contact with the existing element which is fine and that's what they are meant to do. It's just that I had hoped they would because I was trying to disguise the older ( unattractive) elements on my stove. Hope that makes sense. I'm not exactly certain why they put a hole in the center of the large diffuser. maybe someone else could answer that. These are also great for keeping food warm without burning.
