Avanti – Simmer Chef 20cm
The Avanti® SimmerChef Heat Diffuser makes long, slow simmering and gentle pan frying easy.
Suitable for use on any cooktop, it is ideal when making casseroles, soups, sauces, stock, custard, jam and melting chocolate.
SimmerChef allows you to control the temperature of your cooking surface and replaces the need for a slow cooker, double boiler and rice cooker.
Featuring 7 strategically placed cones, the SimmerChef prevents hot spots because heat is spread evenly under the base of the pot – so there’s no catching, burning or spoiling and ensures long slow cooking.

I bought the Avanti 20cm round Simmer Chef for use on my Trangia 25 camp stove to reduce hot spots when using the frying pan. It fits perfectly and stops the hot spots and spreads the heat evenly. The size means it can be packed in the Trangia 25 cook set. It works equally well with the standard methylated spirits burner and the gas burner. A great investment in enjoyment of cooking food instead of burnt offerings.
