PIASTRA RADIANTE DM18 GHISA SMALT.

Bought this for my tiny Italian percolator. It worked a charm - nice and sturdy. The outer circumference means it can sit astride a lot of large hobs but the spokes come in far enough that you can use it with small items. There are four grooves on the underside to slot it on the hob so that it will not slide around during use. When it's cool, I also use it as a trivet.

Sits nicely on the hob. Good quality enamel seens durable - unlike the more expensive & identical looking equivalent that I purchased previously.

I’ve tried the cheap flame diffusers — they warp, they stink, they burn food. This one? Solid cast iron, enamelled, weighty in the hand, and it actually does the job. No hot spots, no buckling, just lovely even heat. This little enamelled slab of Italian genius turned my gas hob from a temperamental dragon into a calm Aga-like hearth. No more scorched pans, no more swearing at my poor hubby for destroying yet another invaluable Le Creuset. It’s heavy for its size (you could probably defend yourself with it if dinner goes badly), has proper notches so it doesn’t wobble about like a drunk flamingo, and a handle that saves you from playing “Guess how hot this is” with your fingertips. Does it make my food taste better? Maybe... Does it make me feel like a domestic goddess with superior cookware taste? Absolutely. Frankly, if this diffuser had a dating profile, I’d swipe right - and probably be better off 😂

Will fit any hob , happy with the quality

The wire handle is detachable and works well to move the diffuser when hot. I use this when I need a lower, even heat for a simmer or when making a sauce without a bain marie. I also use this for cooking with my ceramic tagine on the gas stove top. No issues with the item distorting. The enamel finish seems robust.

2nd May 2020 Bought this and was please, as it sits well on the gas ring - solid and stable - and reduces the heat, (and also retains it). So far have used it for small coffee percolator. Am very glad to get rid of the rusty wooden handled one which did the job, but leaves film of rust over the cooker. 19 June 2020 I revise my initial review and THIS IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS RADIANT PLATE It heats up the coffee percolator far too quickly, and therefore the coffee tastes mild and watery, as it heats up far too quickly. So have gone back to the one with holes, (that rusts) as it does DIFUSE the heat. This Radiant one REALLY DOES INCREASE THE HEAT UNDER THE POT.

Heavy (for its size) cast iron reducer made in Italy. The finish is black and a fine grain coarse structure which matches the cast iron frame of the pan supports on my gas hob. It is not enamelled as some people have written and on my item the surface has not degraded after being in a fairly fierce gas flame for more than an hour. The underside has 12 locating lugs and on my hob can move but it will not fall off the existing pan support frame. Also it’s heavy enough for gravity to hold it in place when placing a pan on top. I have now had in daily use for three months and my rating is still 5 star. It still looks as good as when delivered - the surface is not degrading. A pro or a con depending on your point of view - on a gas hob this ring reducer heats up and being a resonably heavy (for its small size) lump of metal it retains the heat when the gas is switched off so that the contents of a pan will continue to cook for a few extra minutes. If you drain a small pan of cooking water and then immediately place the pan back on the top of the reducer the bottom of the pan will get hotter and perhaps burn the bottom layer of what is still in it.

This cast iron hob reducer works perfectly and provides a good, stable base for small pans. It is not sprayed with some nastily smelling 'finish' to make it look good so there are no fumes or smell when you use it - even for the first time. It seems to fit various sizes of smaller gas hob burners. Just make sure it sits centrally because it is not designed to be a tight or snug fit and is ideal for the smaller burners e.g. used for coffee percolating; preventing smaller pots and pans from tipping over - see the pictures. It's a bit pricey compared to others available but is far superior so worth the extra.

Verkleint de gaspit goed. Stevige kwaliteit

Je ne connaissais pas du tout ce produit. Puis j’en ai entendu parler lors ce que j’ai voulu faire l’acquisition d’un tajine en terre cuite. Si au début j’ai acheté ce produit uniquement pour l’utiliser avec mon tajine je me suis très vite rendu compte qu’il pouvait aussi me servir avec mes casseroles, poêles et wok que j’utilisais habituellement Pas trop lourd mais tout de même juste ce qu’il faut pour rester en place sur le feu, il ne bougera pas. 18 cm c’est parfait même pour un feu de grande taille sur une gazinière standard. Pas besoin que le diffuseur fasse la taille de votre poêle J’ai vraiment adoré la poignée amovible ! C’est Tip top ! Vous mettez votre diffuseur en place et vous retirer la poignée vous poser ensuite votre casserole ( ou autre ). C’est super discret et on ne sait même pas qu’il y a un diffuseur. Il n’y a pas de poignée disgracieuse voir même dangereuse qui dépasse Le revêtement supérieur et brillant, c’est très pratique pour le nettoyer avec un peu d’eau chaude et de produits vaisselle. Ça ne fait pas de taches de gras Franchement j’en suis ultra satisfaite. Je l’ai utilisé plusieurs fois et il tient très bien. Je constate vraiment que ma cuisson est beaucoup plus douce. Très pratique pour faire revenir doucement des choses dans une poêle sur une gazinière où la cuisson est parfois un peu trop vive Si vous avez apprécié mon commentaire, si celui-ci vous a été utile, faites-le-moi savoir en cliquant ci-dessous

serve the purpose

The item matches exactly what ordered.

I got this trivet because my 3 cup mocha pot couldn’t sit stably on my gas stove top. This was a great fix. The trivet looks really nice on my cast iron stove top. It fits perfectly and really does the job that I got it for. Great buy, high quality and I’d highly recommend this item.
