These arrived promptly.They make it easier to grip my cast iron pots and pans, (Lodge).They are a good reminder that the pan handle IS hot if I remove it from the stove, (or oven), and leave it on.These may be too long for most of my cast iron pots, but they don't affect the grip at all.I have problems with gripping and holding things that are heavy bad hands.And these help me maintain my grip.
The nice thing is that if the pot handle holder or the pan handle does get wet it will not scald my hand the way a combo cloth only, or a cloth and silicone pot holder does, plus it is easy to wipe dry on the outside.
Picking up a cast iron skillet, and trying to twist my wrist to pour out of it is slightly difficult with the pot handle holder on BUT it is MORE difficult using a regular pot holder, and this pot handle holder makes it easier in that I don't have to struggle with my grip plus trying to keep a pot holder wrapped around the handle.So at least half the battle is eliminated with this Pot Handle Holder.I can concentrate more on trying to maneuverer the pan and keeping a good grip on it rather than making sure a regular pot holder doesn't open up and burn me.I suspect this issue is due to my bad hands, and the fact my hands are rather small.For small hands, this Pot Handle Holder beats ANY regular pot holder by leaps and bounds.
I like how it snuggles right up against the pan enabling me to get a closer grip there for picking up the heavy pots and pans.I found out if I put the pot holder handle with the hole down, (it has a hole on the edge for hanging up on a hook, and also it is where the label is connected when it arrives), it snuggles very close to the pot, protecting my fingers from accidentally touching the side of the pan while gripping the handle.
I chose the color red to remind me the pan handles are hot, plus it makes it easy to find.
The inside of this item has ribs, which help grip the handle, (and peel garlic, see last paragraph below).If you leave the handle holder on the pot, yes it will become uncomfortably hot, the same if I put a pan in the oven with this holder on the handle.Luckily the grip is easy to slide on and off of the Lodge cast iron pan handles.It is also useful to hold the pan handle while stirring and frying.If they get too hot for comfort, I pull it off, and let it cool down 30 seconds or so when I pull them off the pan, they start cooling down immediately.Very nice.I like the ease with which I can slide the Pot Handle Holder on and off my Lodge cast iron pan handles due to the generous width of this pot handle holder.
Best of all, I love the price.And I love how it can fit all my other pots and pans' handles,(Kenmore line).
This particular pot handle holder also has another unique use I discovered.I can use it to peel garlic!Have you seen those garlic peelers that they sell that are rather expensive for just being a tube of silicon/plastic?You put in your garlic, then you roll it around on the counter top with the palm of your hand putting a slight pressure on the garlic inside as you roll a few back and forth rolls, and the garlic is peeled!The garlic skin is easy to remove out of the Pot Handle Holder because the holder is an even width from the opening all the way through to the end.Pretty nifty!I've been wanting to order one of those garlic, but now I don't need one.This pot handle holder works perfectly for peeling garlic.: )
I already own several Silicone based pot holders.None of them conduct heat as well as this one.In this case, as its stated goal is to not conduct heat, I would count this as a failure.
Its not without use, however you cannot leave the pot holder on the pan for any period exceeding a minute without it becoming excessively warm.

Not at all protective! It could burn you in just a few seconds! I used this Pot Handle Holder on an iron skillet that was only being heated to 350 degrees. I put the holder on, then immediately removed the skillet to place it on the stovetop not more than 10 feet away and it was already hot enough to feel very uncomfortable. My thumb was actually very pink from the excessive heat, but did not thankfully blister.

Doesn't fit any of my pot handles tight, but it works okay if you're careful. Also, if you try to use it on cast iron skillets, to gets too hot to pick up the pan. And I slipped it on the pan right before I wanted to move it, so it didn't have more than a minute to get that hot. So much for the high temp. it's supposed to be good up to.

This product is very big and awkward.It slips over handle but when you go to pick it up it allows the pan to slip and not turn it.It feels very insecure in my hand.I think it would work better for a cast iron pan or something with a big and thick handle.
I'm just loving this pan!I just recently discover whoopie pies and my children just totally falling in love with this pan too.I recommend greasing the pan first before pouring in the batter.Cookies will just slided off the pan.
