Lodge Mini Silicone Hot Handle Holder, Red,ASHHM41, 7.62 cm

I bought this to use with a Lodge cast-iron skillet (bought from amazon.co.uk, too)...It remained in a closet for a few months (waiting for the skillet to be used first) and then... voila! Its true purpose was revealed:My old Insinkerator (waste-disposal machine, bought from this, very amazon) was giving up the ghost. But before it did, finally burst (it was actually the capacitor which blew) with a little smoke, it tormented me by letting out, in unexpected times/moments, electrical surges.The surges would be felt upon touching the kitchen tap (faucet).No electrician was able to find the source of the surges and so, until the Insinkerator's capacitor had its one and final burst, from the fear of electrocution, we abandoned the kitchen faucet and kept using the bath tap instead. Which we weren't sure, whether it was safe to use. Until the Insinkerator-damade revealed itself, we would suspect anything. So we put this thing as a cover on the bath tap, rather as an insulator, and it fit wonderfully (I should post a pic).Finally: Problem solved (Insinkerater disposed), the silicon-item remain on the bath-tap. I think of buying another for the skillet...:-D

Fits a cast iron Lodge and does its job well. That's all there is and that's pretty what I wanted

This item is best used with its logo on the bottom due to the possible burn inducing hanging hole on the underneath. If you can see the hole, you can avoid it easily. Although not a perfect insulator, this cover does seem to limit the handle to hot rather than 'cook the skin' and is a necessity for anyone used to grabbing pan handles rather than reaching for the oven gloves.

It slips on nicely to pan, tried using the pan without the silicone handle, it got very hot!! You do need another heat proof pad to lift the pan though.

It’s very useful

I still use an oven mitt as it still gets hot but just helps when you forgot and accidently grab the handle with no mitt. Fits well on the 10” skillet. Been taking it off before putting the pan in the oven not really sure if i need to though?

Although I have not used yet I am happy with the look and feel of this product. Hopefully it does what it says on the tin ;-)

Not delivered as promised, so no review of the items remarkable properties. I'm still waiting for it to arrive
