Lodge Striped Hot Handle Holders/Mitts, Set of 2

These look nice, and fit the pan handles well, but if you leave them on the pan for any length of time (and not a crazy hot pan either... 350-375 in the center of the pan is enough) they will get charred on the pan end. There is a Lodge Max Temp Handle Mitt, Black that might work better but I don't have any experience with it as I ordered these instead. They could definitely be made out of some material that held up better to high temps. I would expect that kind of problem at 500+ degrees, but I don't consider 350 degrees (probably less than 300 where the handle meets the pan) to be particularly hot for cast iron cookware.

I too have had the problem of the mitt burning at the end.After reading the review of the mitt charring, I figured that the user either 1) used too high heat, or 2) placed their pan off-center, resulting in the mitt being over the flame.

I was very conscious of these two variables as I used the mitts.After about 2 weeks of cooking, I noticed that my mitt was charred as well.While cooking I either half-removed the mitt while the pan was on the stove top, &/or made sure the heat never went beyond medium (gas).It appears that the mitt itself is of decent quality, but the cloth used on the edges are not anything special.

All in all, I expected better quality from a product with the "Lodge" name.In their defense however, these mitts were priced pretty cheap.I picked up 2 sets & expect them to last me a couple years with more cautious use (ie: leaving them half-off while cooking, proper pan placement, & medium heat).However, when they are no longer usable, I do not think that I would bother picking up replacements.

These pot handle holders are easy to use.I have Circulon Cookware that I really love but the handles are stainless steel so they get very hot.I just slide one over the handle and am able to lift the pans easily out of the oven or off the stove.

Bought 2 of these. they're great at blocking the handle heatbut if you push them on the handle all the way, they singe or burn, even if the flame isn't wider than your pan. it's unfortunate...
