Let's talk about heat diffusers!

SHOP THE BELLA COPPER DIFFUSER

While gas stovetops distribute heat quite evenly, your pans can still have hot spots where your food will scorch. And with electric stoves, your recipes will absolutely cook better with a heat diffuser. Pro-tip, if your recipe calls for slow cooking on a simmer for a long period of time, you should get a heat diffuser.

And hey Chamba users! Listen up! When using Chamba cookware on a non-gas stove, you must use a heat diffuser. We recommend the Bella for all Chamba users. 

You can use this copper diffuser on gas, electric coil and electric glass/ceramic stove tops. But still, don't crank your stove to the highest setting. Aim for medium high heat. It works better that way!

Copper will change color after the first use, but truly it is a superb conductor of heat and looks very distinguished as it ages. Bella's copper diffuser is an 1/8th inch of 99.9% PURE COPPER. Doesn't get better than that!!
