## Description

HIC Kitchen Heat Diffuser Reducer Flame Guard with Removable Handle quickly creates a flat cooking surface to distribute heat evenly on electric, gas, and glass stovetops. Heat is absorbed and diffused across the cooking surface for greater energy efficiency and to reduce scorching in pans with hot spots. It is ideal for slow simmering sauces, soups, stews, oatmeal, rice, and other foods without them sticking or boiling over. Perfectly sized to fit larger burners, it also balances smaller cookware like butter warmers and espresso makers, while keeping pan handles from getting hot. The longer stay-cool handle keeps hands safely away from heat, then removes easily for compact storage when not in use. Made from perforated stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and plastic, it is sturdy, durable, dishwasher safe, and won’t scratch stovetop surfaces. HIC Kitchen’s Heat Diffuser maximizes cooking efficiency while ensuring more even results and easier control over heat levels. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957.

Review: Great purchase for the price - EZ to clean, but shows burn marks from gas. Durable. Lightweight. Great size for pans. Fits burner well. And if it lasts a year, at this price, I'm thrilled. Works great at dispersing flame. No more food burning because of the gas center of heat.
Review: It works as expected. - Works exactly like it should. Helps keep my food from scorching when low simmering. Quality and a great price. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed. The detachable handle is a great feature.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has it warped when in contact with the burner flame?**
A: No warping after many months of use and abuse and if you take the handle out and turn it the other side, you even have an even surface regardless the pan size -  totally perfect for just $8

**Q: Does this work well with a taggine**
A: Works excellent with it.  If you have gas grill top you can take off handle and flip it upside down for totally flat surface.  If on ceramic cooktop it will have the handle attach sticking up a quarter of an inch - but this is usually ok to just sit a little off center.  we have another one with a fixed handle that is not flat on either side ultimately, I like this one better.  Works great to slow heat tagine or la chamba clay, or glass flask for boiling as I use.

**Q: Would this 8.25" heat diffuser work for a 12" diameter pan?**
A: My largest pot is 10"diameter and though I have not used the diffuser with it I would say it could be done.  With a 12" pan you may have to shift the pan around a bit on the diffuser, but you control the heat under the pan so that the contents only simmer.  I say go ahead and try it.

**Q: Does this work on an electric range?**
A: Hello!

Works exactly like it should. Helps keep my food from scorching when low simmering. Quality and a great price. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed. The detachable handle is a great feature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective and inexpensive solution for use on a gas stove
*by T***M on January 30, 2026*

I just purchased a second one after trying the first one out for a few months. I found the handle to be less than useful, but it comes off so I use it sans handle. Works fine. However, on larger pots the piece of metal that the handle hooks into forms a lip that protrudes above the surface and prevents larger pots and pans from sitting level. I took a pair of pliers and bent the little metal pieces of the hook down flat. Works perfect now.
