A HEAVY PLATE OF METAL TYPICALLY COPPER TO HELP EVENENLY DISTRIBUTE HEAT.
OUR PLATES ARE .125" THICK SOLID 99.9% PURE COPPER.
These heat diffuser/defroster plates have many uses.They make quick work of defrosting meats, and softening butter, and they evenly distribute heat on a stove reducing the chance of burning food.
Many cooks like to use copper because of its capabilities. Since it soaks up heat quickly it is a good option for easy defrosting without using a microwave or having to wait a long time. They also distribute heat well greatly reducing burnt food, copper stays warm longer than other metals after the heat source is removed, and they even require less power or fuel since there is less heat lost into the air.
These plates are different shapes for aesthetic reasons and in some cases to minimize heat loss from exposed corners like on square copper diffusers.The round and octagon shapes for example hide under pans better than square plates resulting in less hot exposed metal, reducing the chance of burns as well.
