Review on Protect Your Hands - 2 Pack Cast Iron Handle Cover Set With Extra-Thick Silicone For Heat-Resistance And Safe Handling Of Skillets And Pans by Brian Gordon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Edge nearest heat is crumbling away

It does insulate the hot handle from my hand well, not burning or heat. However, the edge that is on the underside of the handle, at the pan, closest to the heat, is deteriorated after only 2 weeks. I could live with that, but the texture is crumbly, and bits come off easily. I'm not crazy about the idea of something crumbly that near food. I also definitely expected them to be sturdier and last longer. I got the two pack thinking one for home, one for the RV. Now I see they wear out rapidly, and I'll need the 2nd one soon. I love cast iron and cook in it daily. Maybe if you're an occasional user, they'd do better.

Pros
  • Can be used on other types of cookware besides cast iron
Cons
  • Silicone material may absorb flavors or smells
