🔥 Why You Need One (Even in a Modern Kitchen)
Gas burners are powerful—but not always precise.
Turn it down too low? It flickers out.
Leave it on medium? Your sauce scorches.
Enter: the simmer ring.
Here’s what it fixes:
Hot spots
Distributes heat evenly across the bottom of the pan
Scorched sauces
Prevents direct flame contact—ideal for cheese, chocolate, custard
Boiling over
Gentle heat = controlled bubbles
Burnt bottoms
Stops delicate dishes like risotto or oatmeal from sticking
Uneven melting
Lets chocolate or butter melt smoothly, not splatter
It’s like giving your stove a “low and slow” superpower.
🧑🍳 Dishes That Shine With a Simmer Ring
Use it for anything that says “simmer gently”:
🧈 Hollandaise, béarnaise, or cheese sauce —no curdling!
🍫 Melting chocolate —smooth, never grainy
🥣 Oatmeal or porridge —creamy, not sticky
🍅 Tomato sauce or ragù —slow-cooked depth of flavor
🥚 Custards & puddings —even heating = no rubbery edges
☕ Mulled wine or cider —warm without boiling off the alcohol
