Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge 2-Piece Hot Handle Holder Set, Red Pepper
Customer Review: Oh-so-cute, but not particularly useful.
Summary: 2 Stars
I first purchased these because I needed pot holders, so I was surprised when they arrived to see that they would only cover one finger at a time. (NOT THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT). Having admitted that embarrassing piece of information, I still don't find them useful. Unlike other reviewers, I dont' feel comfortable leaving the handle holder on while cooking (I have a gas oven)and trying to put them on after the skillet has been on the stove defeats the purpose.
Beyond that....I love the chili pepper design! 8-)
Customer Review: Works OK, still have to be a little careful.
Summary: 4 Stars
This product works pretty well, fitting onto the handle well. The issues with it have been mentioned in other reviews: It's somewhat on the thin side, and can get hot if you leave it on the handle while cooking. Taking it off and back on everytime you manipulate your iron skillet can be annoying, especially if you forget and burn yourself - however, the learning curve is rather short, especially after you burn yourself. And since the skillets are guaranteed to hold an even temperature throughout the whole skillet, you are assured of a nice, even burn to your entire palm.
I would pay a couple of bucks more for the Lodge Max Temp Handle Mitt - it's thicker (so you feel less of the metal handle, giving you a psychological edge in being able to grip it firmly), stays cool longer, and although it's not in festive colors and pattern, it's utility-driven.
Customer Review: Hard to find, great to have...

I have had Lodge cast iron cookware for some time now, but I have searched everywhere for these handy potholders. These holders are insulated and make it very easy to hold the very heavy skillets without fear of burning your hand. Thanks Amazon!!!Customer Review: May be usefull for some.
Summary: 2 Stars
May shield heat a touch better than a kitchen glove. They are OK if you are going to use them on the cast iron handles for a few seconds at a time. Anything longer than that and they will get hot and so will your hands. So, unlike what a previous reviewer said, you cannot leave them on while the pot is on the stove, unless you are not cooking long enough for the handles to get hot (and in that case why even buy them), or if you want to get burned. The choice is yours. Hope this helps.
Customer Review: Lover of ironware
Summary: 3 Stars
I love these Lodge iron products, having used the huge 11-pount wok (seasoned it myself) and the also-very-heavy chicken fryer. I always cook with high heat (gas stove) and the handles do get hot. I own a pair of these handle holders and they're fine--no complaints. I don't think I could ever burn myself holding the handle if these are in place but for the price I'd much rather just buy some handy towels and drape them over the handles. I'm happy to have the holders but if I could choose again, I wouldn't buy them; I think those $7 are better spent elsewhere.
