KitchenCraft Heat Diffuser / Simmer Ring with Wooden Handle, Silver

Product Information

Tougher cuts of meats: If simmering meat, place the food in cold water, and then bring it up to a simmer. Larger tougher cuts may require cooking times upwards of 4 hours, until they’re fork tender. Low temperature in the oven can help you do this.

Using this simmer ring is simple and effective. Place it on your stovetop burner and position your cookware on top of it. The simmer ring helps distribute heat evenly and reduces the intensity of the flame, allowing for gentle and controlled simmering. This is particularly useful when working with delicate sauces, stews, or other dishes that require low and consistent heat.

Adding a lid can intensify the heat and before you know it, you’re boiling again! What is the Difference Between Boiling and Simmering?

Stovetop Espresso Makers

Roy “TrailDad” Robinson created and popularized the Cat Food Can Stove, one of the original DIY homemade alcohol stoves. Roy was the father of Flyin’ Brian Robinson, who used this stove on his groundbreaking Calendar Triple Crown in 2001 and who still uses one today. The screen must come up around the sides of the pot. If your pot handle won’t allow that, cut a notch out of the screen for the handle. I tried to weigh the simmer ring to see how much it would add to the total weight of the stove (1.6 oz including stand and windscreen), but it wouldn’t move the needle on a scale that weighs to 0.1 oz.

Be very careful not to boil; this can damage the delicate tissues and overcook the fish. This is not intended to be a full statement of your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.

Using my 0.9 liter pot, the stove will bring one pint of cold water to a boil in about five minutes. Use no more than 2 or 3 tablespoons of alcohol, and plan to let it burn out. Not everything is ideal for boiling. Food cooked at a steady boil gets agitated, so certain foods may be mushy on the outside but still firm in the middle. Simmering, on the other hand, is way more gentle; because it surrounds the food in water that maintains a constant temperature, simmering cooks food very evenly. It’s also a great way to cook more delicate proteins like fish and shellfish. Why Bring to a Boil and Then Simmer?

Vegetables: Fibrous, starchy root vegetables like beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rutabagas, and turnips are best simmered so they cook evenly throughout. Use pure alcohol, either alcohol stove fuel, shellac thinner, or fuel line antifreeze (not radiator antifreeze!). Read the label to be sure it is 100 percent denatured alcohol. Rubbing alcohol contains up to 30 percent or more water, and it doesn’t burn well. Whether you're an experienced chef or a home cook, the Apollo Simmer Ring is a practical tool that adds precision to your cooking. Enjoy the convenience of achieving perfect simmering temperatures with ease, allowing you to create flavourful and tender dishes. Delivery
