Original SimmerMat

We got this to go with our Tagine and it works brilliantly. Would recommend.

If you don't already have one, make sure you get a simmer mat. Do buy this one rather than the cheaper heat diffuser which tends to get rusty and makes a mess. I use my simmer mats all the time and I cook large pots of food for hours with no sticking or burning. They truly are the best investment you will ever make!!!The blue did start to peel off on the first one I bought but it was immediately replaced by Lakeland.I wouldn't be without the two I have got!!!

Amusingly when I came to write this review I couldn't remember what the item was called and scrolled through all the pots and pans section. Then it occurred I could use my previous purchases! You ought to blow your own trumpet more. What a useful item and saving me from the embarrassment of smells of burning veg from the kitchen. Thank you

I'm a busy working mum and like to batch cook for the freezer but the recipes I use most for this tend to be sauces, casseroles, chilli, curries etc which need to simmer for a while. My smallest gas burner was still to hot for this and tended to concentrate the heat to the middle of my big pot causing a burnt spot, but this has made the world of difference! I can get on with other things and not worry about constantly going back to check/stir. I was a little concerned at some of the reviews on here before I used it but I haven't experienced any warping, marks to hob etc. Thrilled!

I am a kitchen gadget fanatic. I often buy items that I use once and then they lurk at the back of a cupboard. Not this one. I was considering buying a new hob because it was very tricky to get the right simmering heat on mine. I bought two simmer mats and they have never been out of use since. Great! They saved me the bother of the new hob and having it fitted. I would definitely recommend the simmer mat.
