maintain the kind of low heat needed for delicate cooking.
Particularly Useful for Slow Cooking
One of the biggest advantages of a heat diffuser is controlling the intensity of heat.
Once a dish reaches a boil, you may want to lower the temperature without completely losing the heat needed to keep it cooking.
A diffuser can help create a more gradual transition from direct heat to gentle simmering.
This can be especially useful when preparing:
- Tomato-based sauces
- Soups and stews
- Rice dishes
- Porridge
- Custards
- Melted chocolate
- Delicate sauces
- Long-simmered recipes
