## Summary description

A stainless steel heat diffuser by METALTEX, model IT0118.36.21, 21 cm diameter. Designed to distribute and diffuse stovetop heat evenly, it protects cookware from hot spots when cooking on gas or electric hobs. Useful for simmering, melting chocolate, or cooking delicate sauces; provides stable low-heat control and helps extend cookware life.

## Long description

The METALTEX heat diffuser in stainless steel with a 21 cm diameter is designed to distribute and diffuse stovetop heat evenly across the base of cookware. It sits between the burner and pots or pans to reduce hot spots and provide more stable, low-temperature cooking. This accessory is suitable for use on gas and many types of electric hobs and is intended to improve temperature control for simmering, melting or preparing delicate sauces while helping to protect cookware from direct flame or intense heat.
Advantages
The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. The 21 cm size offers broad contact with pan bases to promote uniform heat distribution and reduce the need for constant adjustment of the flame or power level. By moderating peak temperatures and distributing heat more evenly, the diffuser helps prevent food from burning at localized points and extends the usable life of cookware. The flat, compact design makes it simple to place and remove and to store when not in use.
Suitable for
Simmering soups, sauces and stews at steady low temperatures
Melting chocolate or butter without scorching
Preparing delicate custards or cream-based sauces
Cooking in thin-bottomed or lightweight pans that heat unevenly
Extending the life of cookware by reducing direct flame exposure
Key specifications
Material: stainless steel
Diameter: 21 cm
Function: heat diffusion and even heat distribution
Design: flat disc for placement over stovetop burners
Compatible hobs: gas and many electric cooktops
How to use
Place the heat diffuser directly on the burner or heating plate before switching on the stove. Center your pan or pot on top of the diffuser so its base makes good contact with the metal disc. Start with a low to medium heat setting and adjust as needed; because the diffuser spreads heat, you may need to increase the setting slightly compared to direct heating. After use, allow the diffuser to cool completely before handling and clean it with warm water and mild detergent. Follow standard safety precautions when working with open flames and hot surfaces.
Usage recommendations
For best results when melting chocolate or simmering sensitive sauces, preheat the diffuser briefly on a low setting before placing very delicate ingredients in the pan. Avoid rapid temperature shocks—do not place a hot diffuser into cold water—to preserve the integrity of the metal and maintain performance over time.
