Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge 2-Piece Hot Handle Holder Set, Red Pepper
Customer Review: Charred first time I tried them
Summary: 2 Stars
These are very attractive little "mittens" for your cast iron handles. I like how they look, but they are very thin and charred the first time I tried them.
I believe they would work for cases where the pan is not on the stove, and is being used on the table to serve from. When they are used with a pan that is actively being heated, they just can't handle the heat.
Customer Review: Does exactly what it's supposed to do
Summary: 5 Stars
You can put these hot handlers on virtually any pot, pan, or skillet and they will insulate well. The fact that they come in a pack of two is great for any chefs who either tend to lose things or tend to make things dirty quickly.
These handlers seem to be well-manufactured and built to last. For the price and combined with whatever oven mitt you use at home, they are perfect. Just don't forget to keep them out of the oven, if you put your skillet and cover in there.
Customer Review: Fire Hazard! Beware!!
Summary: 1 Stars
While these work well to protect your hand from burns, DO NOT leave them on the pan while cooking on a gas stove. They have caught fire more than once! I now put them on only when I need to pick up the pan and only after the stove is off.Customer Review: safe and easy
Summary: 4 Stars
It helps me to grip the handle of pan easily and safely. good device!Customer Review: I LOVE these handle holders!
Summary: 5 Stars
I only use cast iron on a gas stove and I LOVE this product because it solved the ONLY problem I had with my pans...those hot handles. In case you're getting worried about these being a fire hazard (as other reviews claim) they really aren't UNLESS you leave them on when you place the pan under your broiler! EEEK! I did this and I deserve lots of "boos" for my absent-mindedness! Other than that, if you have your flame up to a normal amount (the flames really shouldn't be shooting up the sides of the pan anyway!) there is no way you'll burn your holders. I've been using mine for four years now (on my stove with blasting BTUs!) and other than my broiler incident, I've been absolutely delighted!
Note: Another benefit besides these holders "being there" when you need them: The design is actually much safer than a pot holder or a clumsy mitt because pot holders tend to drag way closer to the source of the flame and the mitts occasionally made me loose my grip due to their heft.
