Frabosk Induction Diffuser, Steel, Silver, 22 cm

Although probably not as efficient as using "proper" induction pans, heating up our non induction pans is still significantly faster using this disk than it used to be on our very recently retired old style electric plates hob that would take several minutes to heat up so we're happy.The handfull of non induction pans/pots we have kept are in good condition and sit perfectly flat on the diffuser/disk, that's no doubt significant to a good heat transfer.As the only likely location of sharp edges liable to scratch/mark the hob would be around the holes where the handle fits, I made sure there were no such edges by feel and by rubbing the disk in all directions on a sheet of paper, no sharp edges, no tears or marks on the paper... all good ! Having said that, I suppose it is possible to cause a protruding sharp edge as you keep removing/reinserting the handle ?The only critisism I have is about the handle itself. The only use for it is to hang the disk somewhere or other. If you leave it on, the disk won't sit flush and if you remove it while the disk is on the hob, it's sharp edges could possibly cause some scratches on the glass surface. You can't reinsert the handle without lifting the disk either, a tad tricky when it's hot so we generally just leave it to cool down on the hob !

I'll start by saying that the product works well - I've used it with an aluminium frying pan with no problems.However, there are compromises; you need to be careful about matching the size of the plate with your pan base and the ring, and it stays hot for a long time after use, during which time it is tricky to move. Finally, the handle is only useful for hanging it up after use, not for removing it after use.I bought it to extend the life of a vintage pressure cooker that I use only occasionally, and would be very expensive to replace. I've no regrets about buying it for this purpose. However, for day-to-day use I'd recommend buying an induction compatible pan.

It works fine, the problem you might encounter is that some induction cookers limit the max temperature and cut it off before the plate is hot enough to transmit enough heat to the pan or pot above. this happens in my cheap andrew james cooker and i can use the adapter for the big pot and making stews, but not for making creppes in my aluminium creppe pan as it does not get hot enough.in all a 4/5 because it probably works better in more expensive hobs.

It's a good product and it does what it says. The only reason why I didn't give the 5th star is that sometimes it gets super hot and my hob stops because it's overheated. It does it only with some pans not all of them.Obviously it never happens when I use pans for induction hobs w\o this adaptor.

My husband and I bought a induction oven and needed to buy this as must of our cookware was not suitable. We thought that buying this would solve our problems it does not fully heat up our existing pots and so have had to invest in more pots

Perfect heat distribution over a gas flame. I bought this to use on my gas hob when simmering over a low heat and it works perfectly. This means less hot spots so less chance of food burning and less stirring. I bought 2 sizes and have used each only once so far. No discolouration or warping so I'm hoping these will be a good investment. The handle is good for placement over an already hot burner or moving from one to another though I can see it's not suitable for a flat surface such as an induction hob.

The induction plate works well and is quite a useful accessory to have with an induction hob. But the handle supplied is totally useless. It does not work at all.

Arrived quickly. It is very useful indeed for my induction hob and I can now use my pressure cooker which has been out of action for quite a while. Have to be careful not to have the ring too hot as it will leave a mark but it warns about this on the information.
