Product Description

VonShef 9.25" Stainless Steel Induction Hob Heat Diffuser

The VonShef Heat Diffuser is the perfect gadget to improve your cooking. How is that possible?

By evenly distributing the heat that reaches the pan you can accomplish the following results:

1) Avoid any hot or burnt spots and thus
2) Achieve an even taste and a even texture.

Diameter: 9.25"
Thickness: 0.25"

Please note that induction hob and pan are not included

The perfect kitchen gadget.

Moreover, the VonShef heat diffuser is primarily essential for gas stoves that are powerful and setting the flame low is difficult.

This is quite essential for dishes that need to simmer and hence low settings are crucial such as making caramel, simmering sauces and melting chocolate.

Improve the quality of your cooking and the taste of the food.

Apart from the already mentioned benefits, this gadget allows you to use all your regular pans on an induction surface.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to buy any induction pans, you simply need to place the VonShef heat diffuser on the induction surface and your regular pan is converted into an induction pan.

Lightweight and portable.

The disc of the heat diffuser consists of three layers.

The upper and the bottom layers are stainless steel, whereas the middle is aluminum for excellent heat distribution.

It distributes the heat evenly, which in return improves the quality of your cooking and most importantly the taste of the food.

The item can also be used as a gas hob trivet stabilizer no matter how small the pan is.

The diffuser comes with a handle so you can easily move it without the risk of burning yourself.

A lemon

Looked and functioned ok albeit with some buzzing for about two months of mild use (mainly to make coffee in an aluminum expresso pot) before it burst at the seams one day with a mighty pop. Now the surface is uneven the crack is getting larger and white powdery material spills out from sides. Buy something else this thing's a lemon.

Works well with induction

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015

Item works well with my induction stove. However it does hum a lot louder than other induction capable pots we have. I was also displeased that it completely dis colored after one use. Not a deal breaker for me but it might be for others. I posted a photo. This is after one use as we just got it. We were using stainless pot with it so I know it's not from the other pot.

Dangerous product, do not use on induction range!!!!

This product is DANGEROUS, the first time I used in on my new Kenmore Induction range, at medium power, the side split wide open and gasses started hissing out. Either I got a very VERY defective item or the claim that this diffuser is OK for induction cooking is completely false.

Do NOT get this wet and make sure it is fully dry before using. Read to find out why. 3 out of 5 Stars.

I purchased this item as we have a new induction stove (which I am not 100% sold on yet). We had an old coffee pot and a few pots and pans that we still wanted to use so we purchased this. While it works it makes a humming noise louder than the typical induction pot/pan. The other issue is that it remains HOT for a really long time after use. I am talking about 45 minutes to an hour after the stove is off this thing still retains heat.

The last issue we had was the following. There was a bit of crusted food stuck on it and we were going to use it so we ran it under some water and cleaned it with a sponge. We dried it off and attempted to use it but there were several popping noises that were heard so we turned off the stove right away. Once it cooled down we pulled it off and noticed that water got into the very fine grooves of this product and had caused the metal to start warping and splitting along the edge.

I contacted Designer Habitat about the issue and they were not willing to remedy the issue even though it was only 2 months old. I contacted Amazon regarding the issue and they were kind enough to send out a replacement and asked for the old product to be returned to them.

Useless

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Hob came with surface having small areas missing the top surface, and a splotch-shaped area that looked like a stain. No quality control, and/or it was sold and returned by others before re-selling it to us! The unit is very heavy. And it has a completely rounded handle. So when holding it in one hand there is nothing to help keep it from just turning in your hand. You have to hold it very tightly to keep it "aiming" in the direction you need it in to place it on a stove burner. AND it doesn't work! No, it's not just slow, it did not heat up the pan resting on it with the burner on a bit higher than medium. We only waited 1/2-an-hour out of curiosity, when it didn't work within a reasonable amount of time. Still didn't work. And the hob's handle DID get very hot. The hob itself got hot on the bottom, but didn't transfer the heat to the pan since the hob's top surface stayed cool. Silly.

Did not work as well as I would have hoped

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017

I purchased this to use on my induction cook top with non induction pans as I love the pans I have and did not want to replace them when I discovered how much I like cooking on the the induction cook top over a traditional electric cook top.
The diffuser did transfer heat to the pans evenly however it took a very long time and the loss of heat was significant. On the highest heat setting the pan only reached the equivalent to a med/low to med heat and this took 15 plus minutes to achieve. I returned the product and will look for new pans.

One of my most useful tools.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018

One of my most useful tools...I have standard burners on my stove..apt living does not offer high end cookstoves..therefore the hob optimizes the use of small burners to maximize heat distribution with larger pans..eliminates the hot spot syndrome..is wonderful for immediate temperature reduction when requiring a quick boil to immediate low simmer..slide it under the pan when reaching the required boil or fry level..will allow the adjustment of the cooling down of the burner without having to remove the pan and avoid burn or scorching of food..it acts like a buffer between high temps and an immediate lower temp...I call it my heat transition tamer..however just as a pot holder does the same..acts as a temp transition tool..do not expect it to tolerate high temps indefinitely. .just like a pot holder with sustained high temps..compromise the potholder....the hob can and will expand with sustained.... high prolonged temps and burst it's seams..hobs are low temp transition tools..or at sustained intermediate temps works well even frying..used with care ..it's even heat distribution and heat transition capabilities make it a must have in the kitchen..So an added note..it is the tool of choice to convert those nonferrous pans into useable cooking pans on my countertop inductive heating unit

VonShef Stainless Induction Hob Heat Diffuser

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

This product has some limitations but these are only slight and should be expected. just like a human go between, sometimes something gets lost in the translation. In this instance the fact that one needs a go between infusion plate to allow non steel pots and pans is a hindrance in one way but a boon to the bread winner in another. If you decide to go to induction cooking you need not buy those super expensive pots and pans...you need one of these.

But what gets lost in the translation is the amount of power that transfers directly to the cooking utensil. The plate must conduct some of that power into itself and then some to the pot. It does not allow as much power as the led's say. But, it lets you keep your old reliable pots and pans and use them.

Induction converter - works well, just be patient!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is my 2nd one. Do not overheat these converters, they are made in layers and can split if you misuse them, which I did. They take longer to heat than the induction ring so just be patient and Do NOT think they will heat faster if you turn the heat right up (me) and leave it up. Otherwise they work well and I can still use my copper bottomed pans from my previous (gas) hob. I was new to induction and had to learn. Almost 2 years now and I'm really happy.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

Had a new induction hob fitted and although I have a number of suitable pans thought this would be useful for the incompatible ones. The main problem with this is that an induction hobs quality is that it heats and works quickly. This lengthens the cooking time so your timings are not reliable.

This get really hot please be careful when using it I am not keen on it but it allows smaller pans to be used on our induction hob that has large rings on two of the saucepan locations and this helps us get over the fact the ring has to be fully covered before the hob works.

it's taken me 5 months to find out about this and had to buy new saucepans in the meantime. I think all induction hobs should have information about this converter at the point of sale. Word of mouth is sometimes too slow!
