LodgeClassic Silicone Hot Handle Holder, Red, 5-5/8" L x 2"

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Don't believe the "fits any Lodge pan" part, as it doesn't. I wish I'd read the reviews rather than trust that a brand could make something that fits its' own pans. It's loose, "squeezy" thanks to all the spare space, and I wouldn't recommend any high energy cooking or pancake flipping. Even lifting the pan a centimetre off the stove makes you hold your breath. Doesn't feel safe at all.Returning.

I’m a little surprised by how disappointed I was in this silicone handle holder. I don’t know if Lodge actually make this or its just badge marketing, but for what it is, it’s overpriced and, worse, not that effective in use.It does fit the handle of my 9” Lodge skillet, but it’s relatively slack and does not feel secure. This might not matter much if you’re only moving the pan from one place to another, but it’s when you try to manoeuvre the pan in some way that you notice the weakness.If, for example, you want to drain contents from the pan via one of the pouring lips, you’ll find the holder rotates around the handle as you tip the pan, meaning you have to grip it tightly to stop it slipping. Same thing if you’re giving the pan contents a ‘shake’ to distribute evenly. For these, I found myself reverting to using a simple kitchen cloth and immediately everything felt more secure and less likely to slip.I returned it.

The pans from Lodge are really, really good - I actually bought two.So why on earth have their product development department allowed these handle holders!They aren't fitting very well being too loose, they look cheap and most important - they can't isolate the heat from an ordinary plate while frying eggs. The product description states they "resist heat". This is obviously not the same as "providing proper insulation".

Protects quite well but it is not tight enough and the skillet may slip if you do not hold really tightly.Also after 3-4 uses it's got a bit burnt on the lower edge near the pan, despite it was not exposed to direct flame and kept it on purpose quite back from the stove in order to protect the holder.

I purchased the branded version expecting that it was made for the Lodge 26cm Cast Iron Frying Pan. It was too big for the handle. I was expecting a snugger fit. it is dangerous to carry a heavy hot frying pan with an ill-fitting handle holder. the description states "Holder slides directly onto the handle of traditional-frying pans". Why make something that does not fit?

The hole on the underneath means that this item is best used upside down so the hole is visible and easily avoided. The insulation is imperfect but reduces the heat from' cook the skin' to hot. It is a necessary item for anyone who is used to grabbing handles without reaching for the oven gloves. It is easily removable if the pan is used in the oven and can be swapped between similar sized pans.

Not needed.It doesnt fit perfectly.If you want to lean it using one hand to throw the leftover juices on top of your steaks forget it.. the pan is heavy and the silicon handle is sliping.So if it doesnt feet perfectly that means the grip is not solid.Then i can use a kitchel towel to have the same result.

Protected the handle of my cast iron pan which got very hot meaning I could move it off the hob without issue.
