[Sca-cooks] HEAT DEFUSERS

Fri Oct 3 07:32:16 PDT 2003

I never had to use one on my old electric stoves, but I have two for my gas
stoves.  They are great for keeping hot spots away, allowing thick liquids
from sticking, and maintaining a low heat for slow cooking.  I suppose they
would work the same for an electric, I just never needed one.  And I do cook
on mine on high if need be.

Can anybody give information on heat diffusers for one's electric stove?

I bought a set of cast iron ones today. It is a metal plate (fairly heavy)
that sits on top of the element and is used in conjunction with having the
burner on underneath. It is supposed to prevent spill overs.

Can you cook on them  (on high) for a prolonged time?
Are they *just* for warming things?
Thanks!
