Do you cook with Lodge cast iron or any other brand of cast iron pans or griddles?
Even temperatures. Copper cooking diffusers are a simple yet powerful way to transform the performance of cast iron pans and griddles. Without a diffuser, the temperature across a cast iron surface can vary by as much as 80 degrees, leading to uneven cooking and hot spots that can burn some areas while undercooking others. A copper diffuser dramatically evens out that heat, potentially reducing temperature variation to less than 7 degrees across the entire surface. This happens because copper is an exceptional thermal conductor—it rapidly absorbs, distributes, and radiates heat evenly, turning your cast iron into a precision cooking surface. Whether you're searing steaks, flipping pancakes, or making delicate sauces, the result is greater control, more consistent results, and a noticeable improvement in your cooking experience.
Copper cooking diffusers work on any burner except magnetic induction burners.
Growing up in an Italian family, cooking has always been a huge part of my life. My aunt, Joan Tucci, had a best-selling Italian cookbook, and my cousin, Stanley Tucci, has a few as well. Trust me, if you are serious about cooking, you need a copper cooking diffuser! These solid copper plates are made of pure domestic 14-gauge cold-rolled copper and are excellent conductors of heat.
Some benefits and uses include:
-
Maintaining even temperatures while cooking. No more hot and cold spots!
-
As a cooling plate for hotter items.
-
Quickly thaw frozen items (place an ice cube on it for a small demonstration!)
-
Minimize stirring needed for sauces, rice, or simmered dishes.
-
Less burning, scorching, and sticking.
-
Use on an outdoor grill for even cooking with pots or pans.
-
Larger pans can be used on smaller burners.
-
Maximize cooking area in cast iron pans! If you have Lodge cast iron pans and griddles like I do, you will typically have a 50-80 degree difference from the center to the outside of the pan. Our cooking diffuser reduces that variation down to 5 to 7 degrees!
"Mine saved my sauce from burning and sticking so well that I am buying another as a gift for a friend. I would have never thought something so simple would be so valuable. It is now a necessary part of my cooking arsenal." -Linda
"Hi Dino, I love cooking with the diffuser. My grandmother and her sisters—who were all great cooks--—grew up cooking on a wood-burning stove; they took their time, used a lower flame, and never forced the heat. Everything they made was special. The diffuser makes the perfect slow heat. Thank you so much for this product!" -Bette
A 9" round or square copper diffuser is a great size for most situations!

We tested the heat differential from the sides to the middle before using the copper diffuser and found a staggering variation of 80 to 120 degrees. After using the copper cooking diffuser, that variation dropped to just about 20 degrees. It's a game changer for even cooking.
One thing to note is that these diffusers will darken, likely after the first use. Personally, I don't worry about it. But if you prefer to keep it looking shiny, you can always clean it with copper cleaner.
