Kuhn Rikon Flame Protector
Our flame tamer will protect your smaller pressure cooker and gasket on gas stoves. Especially recommended for the shallow pressure frypans, but equally effective for all other pressure cookers, stainless and copper cookware. The disk captures heat that would otherwise go up the sides of your pot, and directs it into the base of the pan, where it is quickly and efficiently absorbed. Coated for easy cleaning.

I bought this "Flame Protector" for only one reason: to evenly distribute heat in my cast iron pan. This item does exactly that. I used to have a hot spot in the center of my pan and now the bottom of the cast iron pan has even heat across its bottom surface. If this is why you want this item it works great. Now, it is also sold as a "Flame Protector" and an "energy saver. " I don't know what a flame protector is; my flames don't need protecting. Maybe some people don't want flames on their cookware because it might discolor them? As far as an energy saver, it seems to me that that is a completely specious argument. If you have to heat an additional piece of metal along with your pan or pot it's going to use more energy not less; my cast iron pan takes twice as long to heat up. Anyway I am a total fan of this item for my usage of even heating of my cast iron pan.
I have a stove with a double burner and the outside flame diameter is too wide for most pots. This fixes the problem nicely! Glad I tried it.
Bought it to use it with my Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker- braiser-
The diameter is slightly larger than the bottom of the braiser. Thick and sturdy, distributes heat evenly. It decreased the amount of burnt sauce (coconut & tomato curry) at the bottom of the pot significantly.
Great product!
Really spread the heat evenly
