The Heat Equalizer Stove Diffuser plate allows you to cook with less energy and heat. The Biggest savings comes from directing 100% of the heat to the pot and not warming up the surrounding house as much when cooking. USAGE The Heat Equalizer needs to be placed between the heat source and the pot or saucepan so it can distribute the heat evenly. When using the Heat Diffuser for glass stoves, you will no longer need to worry about foods burning or sticking to one place. • No more hot spots in the middle of the pot where you have burned food. • No more constant stirring because the electric stove Heat Diffuser will heat evenly across the whole surface. FUNCTION The Heat Diffuser’s main use is to equalize the temperature across the whole surface. It distributes the heat evenly, this way you can turn any pot into high end cookware. Intended uses are for slow cooking and/or simmering any foods, especially sensitive items like rice, oats, caramel, soups & tenderized meats.
