Featuring a perforated steel surface and a removable stay-cool handle, it enhances cooking control for simmering sauces, stews, and delicate dishes while ensuring durability and easy dishwasher cleanup. ## 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.

These flame-tamers are great! I wanted to stop burning food and to slow-simmer for hours, on my stovetop, so I bought 2, and they just stay ready-to-use on the stove. I don't know how I lived without them. FYI, you can take the handles right off if you don't want to use them. Great for my gas range, but it says they will work on other types of cookers, too. 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. ## Features - HIC Kitchen Heat Diffuser: Creates a flat cooking surface, distributes heat evenly, and reduces scorching in pans with hot spots - Durable Materials: Made from perforated stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and plastic; sturdy, long lasting, won’t scratch surfaces; measures 8.25 x 15.75-inches - Efficient And Versatile: Absorbs and diffuses heat evenly for greater energy efficiency; safe for use on electric, gas, and glass stovetops; balances smaller pots like butter warmers and espresso makers - Perfect For Cooking And Simmering: Slow simmer sauces, soups, stews, oatmeal, rice, and other foods without scorching or boiling over; keeps pan handles cooler and safer to grip - Convenient Design: Longer stay-cool handle keeps hands away from heat; handle removes for compact storage; dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleanup ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HM9ZSY | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,589 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #14 in Countertop Burners | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (5,834) | | Date First Available | September 10, 2006 | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Item model number | 99134 | | Manufacturer | HIC-Harold Import Company | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 2 x 6 inches | ## Product Details - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Material:** Aluminum - **Special Feature:** Electric Stove Compatible, Gas Stove Compatible, Glass Stove Compatible, Removable Handle - **Brand:** HIC Kitchen - **Product Dimensions:** 8.25"D x 15.75"W x 0.25"H - **Controls Type:** Push Button - **Burner type:** Electric - **Included Components:** Heat Diffuser - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Simmering Sauces - **Power Source:** Electric ## Images ![HIC Kitchen Heat Diffuser Reducer Flame Guard With Removable Handle, Stainless Steel, Distributes Heat Evenly And Reduces Scorching, For Gas Electric Glass Stovetops, 8.25-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HYUHNMJdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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! My name is Jessica, an employee at HIC Harold Import Co. Thank you for inquiring about the Heat Diffuser Rangetop! In regards to your question, reduces heat from burners on both electric and gas stovetops! It is to be used a low heat setting only!

Not for simmering or cast iron, but they work well for stainless steel pots not intended for hours of simmering. ## Frequently Bought Together - HIC Kitchen Heat Diffuser Reducer Flame Guard with Removable Handle, Stainless Steel - Omnia Thermometer - Omnia Silicone Mold Classic (Red) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/3547648-hic-kitchen-heat-diffuser-reducer-flame-guard-with-removable-handle](https://www.desertcart.in/products/3547648-hic-kitchen-heat-diffuser-reducer-flame-guard-with-removable-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
