I had hoped this would be thicker than it is, but it has helped reduce
need for higher heat on my electric stove and scorching of homemade soups.

I ordered three of the 6-inch and one of the 8-inch plates and really am glad I chose this product instead of a few others I viewed. They do what they promise (prevents scorching and messy drips into the burner bowls). These are hard to find in local department stores, so was happy that Amazon has them. Yes, the shipping costs are pricey, but think of it this way...you can waste gas running all over town looking for these exact burner plates and how often will you have to replace them?

The 8" plate fits up to 10" burners, too. It works as advertized. It delays heat up somewhat but once it gets going, it's fine.

We bought both the 6" and 8". It was impossible to turn the gas burners down in our Motor Home in order cook slowly or simmer. We used a diffuser for a long time until we discovered these. Wow! They are great! You can even stack them for even lower temps. They also retain heat for keeping food warm.

I can't believe it took me so long to discover and purchase these! I started out with two 8" plates, but I will now buy a 6" and a 10" or 12". I cook on a rather crappy 24" gas stove, with a flame that is hard to control finely, and with an odd assortment of cheap stainless steel and glass cookware, plus my cast iron skillet. This means that I'm often burning things, despite my caution.

No more with these plates. It's actually DIFFICULT to burn things now, and things cook more evenly throughout the pot/pan because the solid cast iron metal of the plates conducts and disperses heat wonderfully. They aren't as heavy as I expected - though they are definitely sturdy - and are also very easy to clean - I wipe them down with a sponge. They have the added benefit of cutting down on the cleaning of the stove, as they cover much of it. This is great because the plates are much easier to clean than the grooves surrounded a gas burner. If that isn't enough, they even improve the appearance of my stove!

I find these especially good for egg dishes, sauteeing, rice/pilaf grains, and slow cooking stews and soups, though I personally leave them on my stove and use them for types of cooking. I imagine they would improve anyone's cooking and I think every cook should own these. Considering the dramatic difference they make and how little they cost, they are an amazing value.
