Perfect Heat proof handle cover

These silicone handle covers for cast iron skillets are perfect! We leave them on our most-often-used skillets so they're ready to use. But they are also easy to remove and reinstall on your next skillet. We used several cloth pot holders and handle covers in the past. But they were awkward to use and they got scorched in the process. We didn't want that fire hazard. These silicone molded handle covers are ideal for no fiddling, no juggling to avoid burns from our favorite cast iron skillet…

Pros
  • Love this for my cast iron. Sent it through the dishwasher with no issues.
Cons
  • Takes up additional storage space

not a firm grip on my review.

Although they work well for reducing a burn on a hot handle on my Lodge 10 1/2" griddle, they do not provide a firm grip when lifting the griddle. My hands are stiff with arthritis and do much better with a firm grip whereas, the silicone handle covers squirms a bit if not gripped tightly. Someone with a firm grip might not find this objectionable. The handle slips on snugly when cold over the widest portion of my griddle handle but unfortunately, there is a gap along the majority of the handle

Pros
  • Ideal for use when cooking for extended periods
Cons
  • May not be comfortable to hold for extended periods of time

Best deals at ebay on my review.

Fits like a glove and every easy to use just slide over the handle and it’s like having an oven not on it is heat resistant for the style of cooking I’m using them for thanks for a nice deal

Pros
  • The cover protects the handle from wear and tear
Cons
  • Can become discolored or stained over time

It work great! in my review

A little stubborn to clean, especially if one were to forget it is on the handle and cook with it there allowing it to get burnt, but that is an operated related issue. I use these every day.

Pros
  • The silicone material provides extra durability
Cons
  • Can be more difficult to attach and detach than other handle covers

Complete protection from heat

I thought I had an adequate handle cover, but the cloth could get too hot to handle safely. This product is great! No hot spots, and it's got a good grip. It appears to be indestructible.

Pros
  • The covers help prolong the lifespan of your skillet or pan by reducing the possibility of scratches
Cons
  • May not be effective for all types of cooking oils or sprays

giving as a gift with cast iron skillet

The item was purchased to go with a cast iron skillet I am giving as a shower gift., I tried the handles on the skillet and they fit perfectly. I think the recipient will find the handle covers to be very useful.

Pros
  • Fit the pan perfectly.
Cons
  • Extra layer may make handles too bulky

Great product best in my review

This product makes using cast iron skillet so much easier. I love not having to use bulky potholders that can catch fire. This is slim and heat resistant.

Pros
  • I have used these for years and love them!
Cons
  • Very loose fit on cast iron pan handle makes it hard to tilt the pan for any reason.

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…

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

Silicone cast iron handle covers

They look nice and fit well. However, If the pan is hot for a while and the handle is hot, the covers will not shield the full heat on the handle. You will still need an oven mit to handle the pan. It will however prevent burns from bumping into the handle or momentarily grabbing the handle.

Pros
  • Can fit most sizes of cast iron skillets
Cons
  • May interfere with style or aesthetic of cookware

Pros
  • I’ve been using my cast iron pan for years without protection. These handles are perfect!!!
Cons

fits my tortilla pan perfectly

Easy to put on and take off my cast iron tortilla pan. Holds itself in place and doesn't move when being used. No issues being able to pick up a very hot cast iron pan with this on.

Pros
  • Fits all 3 of my pans of different sizes
Cons
  • May discolor or fade over time

Exactly as described

Just what I need for my oven safe pans to keep the hot to the touch handles covered once out of the oven! Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • I was so glad to get this it is so much easier then a pot holder for holding the handle.
Cons
  • May not fit comfortably in smaller hands

Pot holders for cast iron pans

I have been looking for this or something like this. When I saw the holders on ebay I had to have them. I have two cast iron pans. I love these holders.

Pros
  • Liked for ease of use. Used with cast iron skillet
Cons
  • Slipping from the hands not sure if it’s the design the right way

Don’t put in oven. for my opinion

Don’t put in oven. I did a heat test on the stove and it will stay cool enough to pick up for a very long time on high heat. After I took it off the heat I held the handle about an inch from the hot element. It definitely would be too hot to pick up in the oven! I tested the lodge brand as well and I had the same results.Bottom line. These are fine for stove top but don’t expect to take it off after cooking on stove top to put it in the oven. I can just imagine the food going everywhere! Only…

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • May not be effective for long periods of cooking

Extra thick to protect your hands

These are much better than other brands I've tried. Fits more snugly on the handle so it won't fall off. It also doesn't have any heat transfer in where you can feel the pan through the cover, no accidental burns when cooking for a long time. Love my cast iron pan and this product is a must have to cook safely.

Pros
  • Great Product, works well.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to remove from handle

Ok product for my opinion

Very easy to clean. Top rack dishwasher safe. However when your cast iron pan gets really hot, the handle cover can get hot too. It doesn’t melt but you will need a pot holder to hold the handle which defeats the purpose of the handle cover.

Pros
  • Provides a better grip on the skillet or pan, reducing the risk of slippage
Cons
  • Can take longer to cool down after use
