Purchased this to make yogurt. A regular 2 qt. double boiler is too small, and this fits 2 qts. with an inch to spare from the lid. Fits into a large sauce pan- I have a Revereware. And a great value...

Fox Run Heat Diffuser Review

Fox Run Heat Diffuser

I've been using my diffuser for about 10 years now. Sure enough, when you first fire up the heat, there is some smoke. It'll pass quickly enough if you actually use it the first time. On the other hand, if you fire it up, panic when you see the smoke and shut it off, then it will do the same the second time... and so on. The odor (after the smoke era) is subtle but you're aware of it. I found after about 4 years the wooden handle got loose due to the wood gradually turning to charcoal. But it doesn't come off.
Now after all that being said; it works perfectly! I've been very happy with the performance of this diffuser. It allows for mild heating of the most delicate sauces without fear of scorching. And, as it has a handle, you can move it easily as well as perform the TIP below.
Considering the pricepoint, it is quite the deal.
TIP: When using this to continue heating something at a very low simmer, preheat it by firing up one side first, then flip it over and lower the heat. It will save the 'catch-up' time to keep the simmer.

When cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's important to use low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations allow heat to get through. Protect your beautiful pots and pans with this heat diffuser.

Norpro KRONA 1.5 Quart Stainless Steel Double Boiler Review

I bought the Krona 1 1/2 quart double boiler because I needed a double boiler and I needed a small pot. Unfortunately this purchase was a big disappointment. While the bottom has the 18/10 stainless steel construction, the first food I prepared in it left its mark and I have not been able to remove them. (No, I did not burn the food nor cook on too high a heat). That aside, I can live with the bottom pot. The top one however, the double boiler part, is thin/very light and cheap feeling. Plus the pot has a conical shaped bottom which means you can't sit it down. How useless! If I had known, these latter two features would have been enough for me to have passed on this double boiler.
Sorry in Alpharetta, GA
