 Excellent! Jan 13, 2004
By Lori Hinkle
"Emerald"
These are perfect for all lodge skillets and I also use them on the older pieces of Calphalon that get hot handles. These are so much handier than having to pick up a pot holder repeatedly, you can just slip them on and leave them right through to clean up.

I'm too hot to handle Jul 01, 2004
By A Southern Girl in Jersey
The first thing you need to realize is that when cooking with cast iron, the entire piece gets HOT. It is an even heating surface, and yes, that even includes the handles. That's why Lodge made the Hot Handle Holder Set, and they really hit the nail on the head with this one. The holders fit perfectly on the handles of the pans that they make. They slide on easily and can remain there while you're cooking the item, if it is not near an open flame of course. They protect your hands from heat, even when holding the pan for extended periods of time like while you're cleaning it after cooking. It also makes the handle more comfortable, and provides a pretty good grip. The red peppers are my favorite, but I also have a set of the green salsa holders and they're nice too. Lodge is a company that is known for their quality, and this product is no exception.

Works OK, still have to be a little careful. Dec 19, 2005
By Outglare@Amazon
This product works pretty well, fitting onto the handle well. The issues with it have been mentioned in other reviews: It's somewhat on the thin side, and can get hot if you leave it on the handle while cooking. Taking it off and back on everytime you manipulate your iron skillet can be annoying, especially if you forget and burn yourself - however, the learning curve is rather short, especially after you burn yourself. And since the skillets are guaranteed to hold an even temperature throughout the whole skillet, you are assured of a nice, even burn to your entire palm.
I would pay a couple of bucks more for the Lodge Max Temp Handle Mitt - it's thicker (so you feel less of the metal handle, giving you a psychological edge in being able to grip it firmly), stays cool longer, and although it's not in festive colors and pattern, it's utility-driven.

Very handy! Jun 04, 2004
By Pio
These handle covers are very handy and work well. I bought them with a Lodge cast iron skillet. Glad I got them since I know it would just have been a matter of time before I had burned my hand since I usually use more modern skillets. I am sure I would have forgotten to pick up a pot holder or an oven mit at some point before grabbing the iron handle. I have a gas stove top so the other thing I like about these sturdy handle covers is I don't worry about cloth hanging down from the handle to catch fire.

 May be usefull for some. Jun 20, 2005
By Amadeus

May shield heat a touch better than a kitchen glove. They are OK if you are going to use them on the cast iron handles for a few seconds at a time. Anything longer than that and they will get hot and so will your hands. So, unlike what a previous reviewer said, you cannot leave them on while the pot is on the stove, unless you are not cooking long enough for the handles to get hot (and in that case why even buy them), or if you want to get burned. The choice is yours. Hope this helps.
