Lodge Deluxe Silicone Handle Holder for 9 Inch & Larger Skillets, Sunflower

Okay I have a 15" Cast Iron Lodge so this review is for this handle cover on a 15" Cast Iron Pan. When this pan is hot and I carry the Lodge out to the table full of potatoes or whatever, I always got to the point the handles got way too hot, even wrapped in wet rags or oven mitts. I always felt I was close to dropping it. This heat protection is a game changer. You do not feel the heat, but, you do not feel the handle inside either. Okay now, it does not have great grip as far as holding the pan. So carrying one handed even empty or trying to tilt it for pouring ingredients, grip to the pan is poor and there's a good chance the pan no matter how tight you hold it, will slip out of this cover. The pan will be on the floor and the Silicone Hot Handle Holder will still be in your hand. Use this Handle Holder, only to lift and carry the pan when full and hot. I would like to find a second one that fits the other side handle. So anyway, to carry a heavy hot 15" Cast Iron pan full of fresh cooked food, this is a game changing, gotta have item worth every penny spent. First clear a safe path letting everyone know to stay clear and have a place prepared to set it down. Use this cover over the long handle and your other hand protected, holding the other curved handle. Then lift and go, carefully setting it down in it's pre-prepared location. When it's empty, don't attempt to carry it one handed, swinging next to your leg with the holder in place. The pan will likely slip out of the holder and hit the floor. It works best if you cook with it removed, and then slip it over the handle when you go to carry it. You'll need to have something heat resistant for your hand on the other handle as well. For me this holder is new, so I don't know the durability or how long it will last, but sure seems it will never need replacing unless you lose it.

We’ve used Lodge’s hot handle holder on our Lodge skillet for three months, often multiple times a day on our commercial gas range. It fits snugly and securely — a big improvement over the standard one it replaced. We always leave it on, even when washing the skillet, and make sure the handle stays elevated to keep water out. For this review, I removed it for the first time and found the handle completely clean and like new — just a trace of moisture, maybe a drop. We always cook with olive oil, which holds heat well and can intensify temperatures. Even so, the silicone protector has never gotten hot to the touch or shown any heat damage. It grips well, comes off with a bit of effort, and performs far better than the original. We’re very glad we got it. Well worth the very reasonable price. The skillet and handle protector should hold up for many years to come. Very highly recommend.

Nice but a little loose on the 12 inch pan

Lifesaver for the LODGE cast-iron pan. It makes for a much larger grip which makes holding the pan to move it from the stove and washing easier.

Definitely deluxe! The original one that came with my Lodge is looking pretty disreputable - frayed and burned where it butts up against the pan to about 2" up the handle. It's still very functional but not as nice as this heavy duty handle cover. They both offer protection but the deluxe is more heat resistant. Satisfied with my purchase.

I like this handle a lot. You can leave it on while cooking and don’t have to constantly reach for a potholder. I have it on my Feild #8 cast iron skillet handle. Edit: After use on my skillet I noticed that it is melting ang turning white where the skillet handle meets the skillet body. So it is getting hot and melting. I am still using it but not as excited as I was.

These Deluxe Lodge silicone handle holders are the best. Don’t waste your money on cheap no name versions that are too thin to protect your hands from the heat. These Lodge handle holders are very thick and I had no problem removing my cast iron pans from the grill which was 500 degrees. Highly recommend.

Threatens to slip off every time you pick up the pan. It looks like the dent would fit down into the hole in the handle, but alas the inside contour is completely different and doesn’t do like anything for grip.

Handle is way too big and loose. Expected better from Lodge.

Excelnte calidad y resistencia

These are great. Nice and thick. Keep your hands cool. They do scorch near pan.

Fue muy útil para mis sartenes de hierro fundido.

9インチスキレットだと少しデカい 耐熱性はないよりマシ程度です 何インチ用‥とか表記があると購入検討時に助かると思います。
