This Heat Equalizer has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The cast iron construction feels solid and well made, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do: deliver smooth, even heat across the pan. No more hot spots, no more scorched sauces. Just steady, controlled cooking. I’ve used it on my gas stove, and it performs beautifully. It’s especially great for simmering delicate dishes that usually require constant attention. The price is more than fair for the quality and durability you get. If you’re looking for a reliable heat diffuser that actually works as advertised, this one is a winner. Highly recommended.

For years I had difficulty simmering soups and braises at a low enough temperature on my gas stove. Even the smallest burner at its lowest setting brought an active boil rather than a gentle simmer. Then one day I came across this idea, and selected this iron equalizer. It was the solution to my problem! The iron plate evens out the heat from the flame and eliminates hot spots so a low simmer can be achieved. And it’s sturdy, will outlast me AND my stove! Read more
This is heavy-duty, well made and functions very well. This helps us control the heat when cooking on our gas stove. There are times when the straight heat from the stove is too much and burns the food, even when turned down as much as possible. This heat equalizer keeps food from burning. Heat is distributed over the cooking pan evenly. I imagine this item will last a lifetime and apparently needs no maintenance. It’s a great size for even large pans. Highly recommended! Read more
Works great Read more
I have a gas stove. Even if I use my ceramic coated cast iron stockpots or Dutch oven, I was constantly having to stir while simmering. These were thick base pots to begin with. I ordered a set of three of different sizes and put them to work. First off, they do tend to spread the heat evenly throughout the bottom of the pans you’re using. I was far less concerned about a hotspot in the middle so I can report that it works. IMHO the advertising about saving energy and therefore money, well I’m not quite convinced. Your gas stove has to heat theoretically twice the thickness of metal to reach the desired temperature. This takes longer and burns more fuel. Once it’s up to temperature, then it balances out then uses the same energy. I’m not a metallurgist, but this product is mainly a thick sheet of aluminum with what they claim has copper on top. Personally I think any thick material would accomplish the same thing. With that said, I still would recommend using it. It is well made and easy to clean. I even have the smallest version for over-landing. It comes in handy on my butane camp stoves. I hope this helps. Read more
Overall, this is a great tool for anyone who wants more control over their cooking heat, especially for delicate dishes. Highly recommended for home cooks who struggle with uneven burners Read more
Our stove burners put out fairly uneven heat. Since most modern pans have thin bottoms, the uneven heat comes through as uneven pan heat, making cooking difficult. This heat buffer takes a few minutes to get warmed up before you start cooking, but because it us thick and evens out heat within itself, the pan on top of it is much more evenly heated. No more hot spots nd (relatively) cool spots. It's like adding a thick bottom to each of your thin-bottomed pans. Read more
