The Original SimmerMat Heat Diffuser

After having searched for a SimmerMat everywhere for a gas stove, I found it on Yuppiechef. It is a very good product and works perfectly if you follow the instructions. With gas one can never simmer food at a very low heat, and with this product I am now able to simmer casseroles, etc without any problems.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Review by Nirvana J.

I purchased this product to use with my induction cooker because the settings are finicky and it's almost impossible to simmer over low temperatures (because the cooker cycles on and off). I've burnt a great many things, before using this mat! I was able to slow simmer a lamb curry to perfection with this on my induction cooker. I've also used it on my gas stove during load shedding and it worked great then as well. You really have to use it at low temperatures though. The reason for only giving it 4 stars is because it warped (bowed up in the middle) a bit when I increased the temperature a bit- I think if you need to increase the temperature you would have to remove the mat (it gets blazing hot!) and place the pot directly on the plate, bring the food back up to the desired temperature, lower the temperature, remove the pot, put the mat back on the plate and then put the pot back on. I have managed to warp it back into shape since. I think some sort of handle or hook to remove the mat from the cooker would also have been useful- it made my oven gloves smoke! Read more

Using the simmer mat on the gas hob has been a huge success. I was able to simmer soup and a stew without having to constantly stir to avoid it catching on the bottom. A worthwhile purchase.

Does what it says. Works well on gas. Even enables me to use my non induction pots on my induction cooker.
