Not the easiest to clean as a little sharp, but fits all the hobs perfectly. Heavy duty and holds Moka pot big and small, also works very well on a camping stove, meaning I can have good quality coffee in the middle of a field. A one and done purchase.

Sits on the hob and does the job. But, and maybe I’m too OCD, It would be nicer aesthetically if the struts lined up with the hob bars. Unfortunately the tabs to locate it are located so it looks like its skewed (photo 1) and if you try second best at 45 degrees it also doesn’t quite line up and looks skewed too (photo 2). Would be easy to get it right. Apart from that (marked down one * for it, it does the job just fine.

My gas hob has a worrying design fault whereby pans, if not positioned perfectly in the centre, tend to tip over and spill their hot contents over the hob - and sometimes me. A particular problem with pans that have a large, heavy handle. I recently stayed in an apartment in Italy where they had a gadget similar to this one, for standing moka pots on. So I bought this. It’s perfect for moka pots and has stopped the issue with toppling pans. The fact that it’s aluminium is a positive: it’s light, won’t rust and conducts heat faster than steel. Inevitably it has turned white due to oxidation - but to me that’s not an issue. I like the aesthetic of worn, used things. And it’s a great price.

Personally I found the need for this item as I had a small coffee pot that wasn’t large enough to sit itself on the gas ring. This item allowed me to rest my pot atop the smaller rings that sat perfectly in place atop the cooker own large gas ring allowing me to make my nice stong morning coffee to shake the cobwebs off! Very handy item!

I was expecting this to be stainless steel, but it is aluminium. It does the job

Works well.

Good value
