Norpro Heat Diffuser

Built for cooks who simmer sauces, melt chocolate, or cook with glass or ceramic pots, Norpro's Heat Diffuser delivers a metal plate that spreads stovetop heat evenly to prevent scorching during a slow simmer without any guesswork.

Placed between a burner and a pot, this diffuser spreads heat evenly across the base of the cookware, helping prevent scorching during a slow simmer and making it easier to hold a very low temperature for delicate sauces or melting chocolate. It also lets glass and ceramic pots handle direct stovetop heat more safely.

Here's what makes it work day to day: it's built from metal heat-diffusing plate; use is placed between burner and pot; feature is distributes heat evenly, helps prevent scorching; for cleanup, wipe clean.

Keep it stored somewhere easy to reach - accessories like this only help if they're within arm's reach at the stove, not buried in a drawer.

We keep this in stock because customers ask for it by name, not because it's the cheapest option on the shelf - quality and fit come first, and that's reflected in every accessory we choose to carry.
