Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Simmer Mat Diffuser
Customer Review: It works
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a bit frustrated trying to simmer things on my gas stove with my pots and pans. No matter how low I set the flame I could not achieve a simmer. Rice in particular was a real pain - I always wound up with it stuck to the bottom of the pot. Last night, however, was different.
I finally got to try out the Simmer Mat, and it worked perfectly. I wasn't sure how high to turn the flame up under the mat, so I just turned it down low, but nowhere near as low as I would have before when I was trying to simmer something. I think that using the Simmer Mat makes the flame adjustment not quite so critical. In any event, the brown rice I was cooking came out light and fluffy with no sticking in the pot at all.
I seem to have found the answer to my simmering problems. While I'm sure that there are probably other products out there that will do the same, this works just fine. I'll have to admit that the price seems a bit high for a dimpled piece of steel (it is not cast iron, though it may look like it in the picture) that probably cost no more than a dollar to produce, but I can't see ever needing to replace it, so what's a lifetime of use worth?
