Review on Efficient Heat Distribution: RAINBEAN 8 Inch Simmer Ring Plate Induction Adapter For Gas Stove Moka Pot by Matthew Ciula

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A perfect way to use aluminum pots and pans on an induction cooktop.

I love this product. I Purchased the Rainbean 9.25 inch induction cooktop diffuser - primarily to make Cuban coffee in an aluminum 3-cup coffee maker. I have a 4-year old Nuwave Pro induction cooktop. It is faster and much more efficient than an electric stove but like all induction cooktop‘s will not work with aluminum pots, pans, etc. So, now I can use the aluminum Cuban coffee pot with my Nuwave pro cooktop using this new induction cooktop diffuser. I have read reviews about induction cooktop diffusers warping and bending and was concerned. But, I have had absolutely no problem with the RainBean diffuser. Through some trial and error I found out that I can put the Nuwave induction cooktop on Medium heat (which indicates 275°F on the display) and it quickly boils the water and makes the coffee with no issues at all - and much faster than my electric glass-top stove. I tried using lower and higher temperatures but discovered that the Medium setting works perfectly. I’ve seen no discoloration or warping issues so far it was a perfect solution for using the induction cooktop to heat up an aluminum coffee pot. The Rainbean looks nice, is sturdy, and works perfectly as a way to use an induction cooktop with aluminum products.

Pros
  • Evenly warmed my Chamba Pot.Well worth it!
Cons
  • The plate may slide around on your stove, creating a potential safety hazard
