Do I need a diffuser to use it on a vitro ceramic stove?

It is recommended to use these clay cookers with a diffuser over any heat source. I got one from Amazon when I purchased the tagine. Absolutely love this cooker!!!

I do not know what a vitro ceramic stove is, But I would recommend using a diffuser. The tagine I ordered from Amazon arrived damaged , so I got one locally, and they recommended I use a diffuser, keep the temperature moderate, and if I had not used the tagine for some time to soak it in water for half an hour before use. Hope this helps!

I would use a diffuser whenever using this. It will help to cook it evenly and diffusers are inexpensive. No need for an expensive one. I would say yes, better safe than sorry.

Hi Bobbie. I don't think so as there is a rather large "basket" on these diffusers. But we've never had any of the Airwick units in our house so I'm not certain. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I doubt it. Diffuser use essential oils, like doTERRA. This oil is not an essential oil. I'm interested in how others respond.

Yes, I use it with my Le Creuset pots all the time. The diffuser does not need to cover the entire bottom of the pot. It has a series of ridges that very effectively distribute heat to the bottom of the pot. On my gas stove even the lowest setting on the smallest burner was often to hot to simmer chili or marinara sauce for long periods of time. The diffuser allows me to do this very effectively, without burning the contents of the pot. Hope this helps.

No, but it has a reactor so I didn't bother with a diffuser. The reactor does a better job of diffusing the CO2 bubbles.

I can't remember if it came with instructions, but if you can't find any here's a good website for them: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/tipsandtechniques/ht/Season_Tagine.htm You probably need to get a diffuser (inexepensive) if you want to use on the stovetop

Sorry, I don't use a diffuser. But, I do like this hairdryer very much. Especially the weight.

Yes, a diffuser is not necessary for use in an oven. Do not exceed temperature specified in instructions. Also understand that the cover is not used in the oven. It is a decorative accoutrement and a way of holding hot food if not served immediately.

This is a great item. You do not need a diffuser when cooking in this pan. It is very sturdy. I love mine and talked my sister into buying one. She loves it!!

You can use the tagine on a gas stove,but you will need to purchase a diffuser. This sit between the heat source and the Tagine. I soaked it in cold water for two hour before use, and seasoned it with extra virgin olive oil. Remember do not stir the food in the Tagine,

No it does not. I use a pair of kitchen tongs to move the diffuser if hot. A permanent handle would limit the size of pot or skillet used.

Mine came with a diffuser, an attachment to focus the heat...but did not come with the sponge-like filter that should be placed in the air intake vent.

There is no diffuser. They pendants only have the metal shade covering the bulbs. There's no additional coverage underneath.

I answered YES because I don't think anything would happen to the diffuser. However, I actually would not recommend the diffuser to be used on a wood burning stove because it has something like a crown with convoluted edge around its bottom part. This convolution helps to anchor the diffuser on the stove. If your stove is flat, than the diffuser would sit lose on your stove and that might be a safety issue. In addition, you would lose a lot of heat between the top of your stove and the bottom of the diffuser. And what more, the pot bottom does not sit directly on the plate but on its star-like protrusions so there is a little gap between the pot bottom and the diffuser itself. Even if your stove has some kind of a griddle which would allow the diffuser to anchor, I still would think that there would be a lot of heat lost because the wood burning stove does not usually have an open fire that could come into direct contact with the diffuser. Consequently, I would expect a lot of heat loss anyway.

The diffuser only regulates heat for same temperature all around. You should be able to use it on any pan, it does not let the fire touch the pan.

I do not have a ceramic cookstove but I do see why you could not use this unit. If you can use any double broiler on your stove then you could use this one.

I was wondering the same thing, although I cannot imagine there being a problem with this on an electric stove, here is another reference:http://fabulouskitchenstuff.com/fabulous-heat-diffusers-for-an-electric-stove/
