Heat diffusers help distribute heat evenly and can be useful for simmering or cooking delicate items. However, ensure that the diffuser is compatible with your cookware and doesn't exceed the stove's temperature limits to prevent damage. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for both the stove and the diffuser.
