Amazon Basics Rectangular Hot Handle Holder, Red

I have two cast iron frying pans and a griddle pan. I love using these because the results turn out so good, however as any cast iron user will know, the pans become impossible to pick up without something like an oven glove. Well this little silicon holder fixes that. It gets hottish when a pan has been left on the hob to get hot, but it's easily manageable, i.e. you can pick it up.It's quite large so will slide on to a handle, although not so large that if I've left it until the pan is hot to put it in place, I need something to hold the opposite edge of the pan so that the holder will slide on. The only slight warning I'd offer is that often cast iron pans do not appear to generally have long handles, and this holder is obviously designed to cater for the longest. This means that there's a small danger that if you don't pick up the pan well towards the pan edge, i.e. where the handle is inside the holder, you could end up not holding on to much of the handle. I'm aware of this so it's never happened to me and I'm more than happy that I can now use my pans without having to remember to put on an oven glove every time I want to touch them.

Do the job

Great little handle cover, though make sure you measure properly so it fits the pan you want it for. I didnt measure and found it a bit big for the pan i need it for, but it fits on a completely different pan handle perfectly- so all worked out well!Id recommend *not* keeping it on the handle of cast iron pans while cooking, as it will get warm. Put it on when youre ready to move it. Silly I know, but thats what ive found.

This is perfect to fit the brass handle of my wood burner, so much easier to slip it on than using our massive suede gloves. Cheap and cheerful but works a treat!

bought this for our Lodge L9OG3. It wasn't a snug fit and given the weight of the skillet we didn't feel confident using it knowing it could slip out and damage whatever the skillet lands on. Returns however were very simple and helpful.

Amazon Basics silicone hot handle holder works perfectly and is a fraction of the price of branded ones which do the same thingWould be happy to recommend

This pan holder fits really well over the handle of my cast iron frying pan, which was originally getting dangerously hot. I’m very pleased that I can use my pan with safety. No more burnt fingers whilst I’m cooking! Excellent purchase!

So not be tempted to waste your money. It doesn't fit the pan handle tightly. It slips off and is dangerous. I nearly dropped the pan more than once. Then one morning it slipped off the handle, burned my foot and damaged the floor in my kitchen. Buy the proper and good quality handle to fit your pan.
