Weatherbee's Stove Tamer controls the heat on gas stoves and tames the flame easily to prevent burnt or scorched foods for less waste and eliminates pots from boiling over for less messy cleanup. This solid aluminum plate (.125-inches thick) shields the bottom of cookware and prevents hot spots from forming. Easily slows down and diffuses heat across the base of the pan for even, accurate slow-to-medium cooking. The ideal cooking tool to assist when slow cooking foods, making hollandaise and other delicate sauces, scalding milk or cream, simmering puddings, melting chocolate, and more. A great companion for espresso pots, it eliminates flame-to-pot contact and promotes low-heat percolating to prevent bitter-tasting coffee.
