I bought this primarily because I have a small copper pan that I use when making small amounts of sauce, that won't safely stand on the grills over my gas hob. It works a treat for that but it also makes simmering sauces for longer great as once it gets up to temperature, it maintains a nice gentle heat level. It smells a bit when you first use it and you have to be careful to avoid splashing food or liquid on it as that will also smell the next time you use it as it burns off.

Excellent product. Allows pan on hob to simmer gently and evenly

Does it’s job well. I bought it to use under a tagine when cooking on the hob, so as to spread the heat evenly and avoid direct heat onto parts of the pot.

I love this product as my gas hob can often be a bit too high for simmering. I bought two and have purchased before. Excellent product.

I bought this for my daughter as I have had one of these for several years. A brilliant piece of kit. Not as eye-catching as some but is much better at its job. With the multiple layers of metal, heat is distributed evenly across the base of any sized pan and protects pottery like tagines on the hob.
