Gourmia GHP9530 Induction Cooker Diffuser Plate 9.5" – 3.4mm Thick Stainless Steel – Use Any Cookware on Induction Stove Hob or Range

I rent my home and have had an induction stove for over 2 years. Many of my pots and pans, I quickly learned, didn't work on my stove and I had to put them away. I figured out one tip was that if a magnet sticks to a pot, it will work on the induction stove. That made things a little easier when shopping for replacements. However, I already loved my current pots and pans and grew frustrated that I couldn't just use the ones I had. So I searched for what I had hoped someone had already problem-solved and to my excitement, it existed! An induction cooker diffuser! I ordered it online, immediately, and to my anticipation, it worked!!! I was able to dust off my pots/pans and welcome them back into the kitchen. I am very happy with this product. With use, there is some discoloration, though I imagine that is to be expected during the heat transfer. I use this every day and it has worked with all of my pots and pans. While cooking, I sometimes need to turn my larger skillets so that everything cooks evenly, so If there is ever a larger size available, I will purchase that one too!

Bought this for a small stainless steel tea kettle too small for my induction burner to work with. My induction burner is an 1800 watt unit by Duxtop. It has a tendency to shut down to 140 degrees when it gets too hot, and that was the case with this diffuser plate. Set it on "10" and put the tea kettle in the middle... heated up rapidly and the water got close to a boil in about 4 minutes (around 16 ounces)... unit shut down to 140 degrees... reset it to 360 degrees... it actually stayed there, but took another 4 minutes to finally boil. I'm going to try some different things to get it to work better, but that's the result of my first effort. It is a large, heavy piece of metal... it takes a l-o-n-g time to cool, which for hot tea is not a bad thing. You could also use it that way to keep something warmed. Boy, that's a long handle! It does not transfer any heat at all that I noticed, which I suppose is the point. Seems to be good quality stainless steel with a solidly riveted handle.

This is a very well made product. It works as expected, and it great for those "induction ready" pans that only have a tiny circle of steel embedded in their base. This allows the whole bottom of the pan to heat. Drawbacks are you can't use high heat, and it takes longer to heat the pan with this tool.

Very pleased with this product. My mom had given me a nice set of waterless cookwear 34 years ago. With this product, I am able to use them on my induction Nu Wave burner! Other pots I have work well too. I can't help but think 1 star reveiws are those who misunderstood how to use it. Observations: *Induction burner has to heat up this product before my pan heats. Its not a long delay (a few seconds). *I do set my temperature a bit higher when using this product. *Heats evenly *Does discolor with use, but I expected it to due to heat. It doesnt affect its use. Gave it 4 stars on easy to clean for that reason only. *Product stays HOT, after use so be careful!

I ordered an induction diffuser plate to see if it would allow the induction cooktops to work with the All Clad Copper Core pots and pans I have that are directly incompatible with induction to work to some degree. (All Clad claims that new Copper Core cookware is now induction compatible. So they must have changed the formulation since I bought mine.) The theory is that the diffuser -- a 240 mm-wide stainless steel plate -- gets heated through induction by the cooktop, and the pot gets heated through conduction from the diffuser plate. I tried to boil 1 liter of water in a large All Clad Copper Core sauce pot (270 mm diameter with a 240 mm flat base) on the Duxtop LCD P961LS 1800W induction cooktop. The water got hot, but it failed to boil after more than 12 minutes. (A similar All Clad classic sauce pot boiled the liter of water in 4 minutes 22 seconds.) If the diffuser and Copper Core pot had succeeded in boiling the water it would have represented less than 25% efficiency. I also tried to boil the liter of water in the All Clad Copper Core sauce pot with the diffuser on my IKEA Tillreda 1800W induction cooktop. It resulted in an overheating error. Obviously, the diffuser plate is pretty useless with All Clad Copper Core that is not directly induction compatible.

I purchased this to use with my induction burner. I had a set of stainless steel that unfortunately was not magnetic/conductive enough to work with an induction burner. I had hoped that this plate would help. It DOES work, but not very well. If you believe that this thing will heat up and act like a good piece of iron cookware on an induction burner (a 10.5" iron skillet can hit 350 degrees in about 15 seconds on my burner normally) you are fooling yourself. It does not. It may help in a pinch, but heating times are 10x-15x slower than the speed of using true induction cookware on an induction stove and the heat transfer is pretty low. In fact, its probably 5x slower than the speed of a comparable gas burner with my stainless steel set. I love the speed of induction, but if you think you are getting this hoping to use this as a stop-gap from having to buy new pots - you are really fooling yourself. I would recommend you get yourself something highly magnetic like a cast iron skillet instead and really see what induction can do.

Works perfectly on induction stove. Glad I can use all my cookware and didn't have to purchase new.

Extremely high quality and craftsmanship. Cheaper than competitors. Induction functionality works on all size burners no need to buy multiple induction adapters. Thought non removable handle would be a problem but it is not.

This Diffuser works perfectly fine. It does it's job. Recommend it.

Seems to be well made. I can use any pot or pan on top of this and it works on my induction cooker. And the size is just right.

Works well for stove top kettle and coffee pot. Not strong enough for big pot of liquid but good for smaller ones.

It turns our regular cookware into inductive.

Takes forever to heat up and then when heated it starts cooling and doesn't heat anymore and changed color on the 1st try. the handle gets hot half way.
