Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Holder - Red

This handle works well to insulate one's hand from the hot handle of a cast iron skillet. It was purchased to replace a cloth hot pad style holder that wore out after two years.

Works as advertised fits on the handle correctly and the heat does not come through

The Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Holder is a simple but very useful add‑on if you cook with cast iron or any skillet with a metal handle. It does a great job shielding your hand from the heat of a hot skillet handle The silicone has a slight “grippy” feel, so it’s less likely to slip when you’re moving a heavy pan. It also makes bare metal handles more comfortable to hold. Just slide it over the handle—no tying, clipping, or adjusting. You can leave it nearby and slip it on only when you need to move the pan. Toss it right in the dishwasher or wash it quickly by hand. It doesn’t absorb oil like cloth mitts and dries fast Silicone doesn’t scorch, fray, or wear out quickly The Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Holder is a small, inexpensive accessory that makes cast iron cooking noticeably safer and more comfortable. It doesn’t replace oven mitts for every situation, but if you regularly use a skillet with a metal handle, it’s a practical,

Works but not for fitting toward griddle.

The Lodge ASHH41MPK Handle Holder has been an absolute lifesaver in my kitchen. Designed specifically for cast iron skillets, this handle holder has transformed the way I handle hot cookware, adding a level of safety and convenience that I never knew I needed. The heat resistance of this handle holder is simply outstanding. Made from high-quality silicone, it withstands high temperatures effortlessly, allowing me to move hot skillets from the stovetop to the oven and back without any concern about burning my hands. This feature alone has made cooking with my cast iron skillets a much more enjoyable experience. I can confidently handle my pans, knowing that the handle holder will protect me from any accidental burns. The design of the handle holder is both practical and ergonomic. It fits snugly over the handle of my cast iron skillets, providing a secure grip that prevents any slips or accidents. The textured surface adds extra traction, ensuring that I have complete control over my cookware, even when it's filled with heavy ingredients. This level of control and safety is invaluable, especially when I'm working with larger or heavier skillets. Durability is another area where the Lodge Handle Holder truly shines. Despite regular use and exposure to high heat, it remains in excellent condition. The silicone material is easy to clean, and I love that it's dishwasher safe. This makes cleanup a breeze, and the handle holder always looks and performs like new, even after multiple washes. The sleek design and vibrant color options add a touch of style to my kitchen. It's clear that Lodge has put a lot of thought into creating a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The handle holder complements my cast iron skillets perfectly and adds a pop of color to my cooking space. For anyone who regularly uses cast iron skillets, the Lodge ASHH41MPK Handle Holder is an essential tool. It combines heat resistance, comfort, and durability to provide a superior cooking experience.

EDIT: Now that I have about a month using these holders under my belt, I've learned more how to use them better. Still, my original review below pretty much stands. So, I found that trying to firmly grasp the silicone handles the way you would using a cloth isn't the best way to go about using these handles. Using a looser grip allowing the front bottom of the holder to sit on your index finger and the rear top of the holder to press up against your palm provides a much better grip and control of the pan. It's a looser bottom-front and top-rear balance that works best. This method even mostly negates the lubrication effect from modestly oily pan handles. You still don't want oily handles or you're asking for it. So try that looser balancing grip instead of the firm clench grip. :) Also, a note on the cloth Hot Handles that are supposedly-silicone lined. Um, they're not silicone-lined. At least not with any kind of silicone I've ever seen. And don't ask me why, but the multi-colored hot pepper design holder is a bit bigger and its interior just looks like the metalized cloth we've been using on the contact surface of cloth oven mitts for decades. The red hot pepper design has a cream colored teri cloth inside and is just a bit smaller than the multi-colored pepper holders. I like the multi-colored pepper holders the best both for the interior, feel and pattern. If I'm cooking on low heat I leave the silicone handles on. If I'm sauteeing, and therefore flipping, or if I'm using higher heat I use the cloth handles and put 'em on as needed and remove 'em when done. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Okay, I will take for granted that if you're reading this you already have a Lodge cast iron pan(s). They are fantastic pans that have reignited my love of cooking. My Analon Pro pans sit in the cupboard doing nothing now other than loan their great glass lids to the Lodge pans. But this isn't about the pans. Despite their very humble price, all of us who own Lodge know that they are superior pans already. This is about this handle holder. If you've used silicone in the past as a pot holder or oven mitt, you know that it is an excellent heat barrier and very very easy to clean and dries almost instantly. This holder is no different. It can be left on the pans even when they are on medium high heat and though they get hot, not hot enough so the pan can't be lifted. The problem with this holder is that it only comes in one size and is internally deeply ribbed (presumably to create an air channel and less contact for cooling efficiency). I have 6.5" through 15" Lodge pans. Each handle is a different size and shape. The 6.5" is so small that this holder allows the handle to just slosh around inside. The only way to get a confident grip on the pan with the holder on is to really squeeze down on the holder. As the holder is quite thick, it won't fold over and the internal ribs prevent real compression of the holder. Sort of a spring action. In short, the little handle is so short and narrow that this holder just swallows it up and confident grasp is really not possible. Factor this in with the fact that oil/grease finds its way up cast iron handles and you have a real issue because of the internal ribs. There is very little actual contact between the holder and the handle because of these ribs. Good for low heat transfer. REALLY bad for grabbing the handle. But who uses such tiny pans other than myself? Let's talk about the 10" that everybody uses. The fit here is much much better. Still, not snug enough. Unlike with the 6.5" pan, heft and weight of the pan is an issue. Though the fit is more snug, the greater effort maneuvering the 10" gives a less-than-confident feeling. I like to sautee so I flip my pans a lot. Yes, even heavy cast iron pans. Not with this holder on the handle. The ribs simply limit contact with the pan far too much. It's back to the trusty old cloth for sauteeing... ANY grease on the handle and the holder becomes a lubricated sleeve that can actually spin around the handle. The 15" pan's handle fits about the same in the holder as the 10" though it reaches closer to the holder's tip. In summary, this holder is fine for simply grabbing the pan and rotating it on the burner or for holding the pan as you stir its contents or for two-handed lifts using the helper handle (and hey, where's the helper handle holders???). For sauteeing or one-handed lifts (or even two-handed lifts by the main handle only), the poor grip (even lubricated SLIDING) of this holder really limits its usefulness as a handle holder. I've ordered the Lodge cloth-exteriored (but still internally silicone-lined) holders hoping for better grip. I understand that those handles can't be left on the pans. I'll use them as a replacement for a cloth. Hopefully there aren't any internal ribs on those holders or they'll get sent back prior to use. Lodge really dropped the ball here, only offering one size. Frankly, I think they should include custom-fitted handles with every pan. They are cheap to make and wouldn't increase the cost of the pans much. They should also be made of much thicker silicone without ribs. This way, they can just stay on the pans and will fit and grip MUCH MUCH better and restrict heat at least as well. I hope you're listening, Lodge... Send me a free set for review. ;)

I bought this for a stainless steel pot and it works perfectly. The handle gets super hot, even when the pot is just sitting on top of the stove and the oven is on. This cover is easy to put on and off and allows me to grab and lift the pot easily without burning myself. It's a lot easier to use than a dish towel or an oven mitt which is what I was using prior.

不思議な事に溶けません。ミトンを使わなくなりました。隙間に油が入ると不安定になります。

取り外しは緩いせいか良いのだけど、もう少し厚みがあっても良いかと思う。 少し長めに持つと熱さが伝わってくる。

Very good product. I use it for my LODGE combo cooker (2 pans) and it works great. The adjustment it is good. When cooking the top and bottom keeps only a bit warm (you can hold it with bare hands), from the sides might be a bit warmer. Great!

حلو يحمي من الحرارة بس هو كمان ساحن انتبهوً

Passender Griff mit sehr guter Qualität
