Kitchen Grips 2 Piece Short Handle Set, Cherry/Black

Well made and work well for handling hot pots and lids. They also wash great in washing machine (I put them in aLingerie bag).

These are my favorites and our puppy ate one…so I ordered two new sets! They are the best!

I love these and they work perfectly with my Curtis Stone cookware. I see there's only one color available now and they were limited so I hope that doesn't mean they'll be discontinued.

It fits most any pot lid handle. I don’t know how to live without this. Had one from years ago and just ordered new pair from the amazon because i had lost one some time ago. I was so happy to find them.

Great product! Very handy for a variety of uses, and dishwasher safe, too! I've been scouring retail stores for years for the mitt version of this material, at first to find more like the ones I'd liked and been using so much, and later because after many years of use I'd become increasingly concerned I wouldn't be able to ever find replacements if that became necessary. I'd searched Amazon several times over the years without success too, but finally scrolled Google images of pot holders, saw the Kitchen Grips, and located on Amazon not only the mitt pot holders I'd been searching for, but also these excellent short grips, too. Great for Le Creuset Dutch oven handles and lids, and also most other short handles and lids on cookware and ovenware, also great for removing hot plates, bowls and measuring cups from the microwave. I feel a sense of being able to get a surer grip on things with holders made of this type material than I have with conventional, quilted fabrics, or silicone holders. It would be nice, however, if there were a slightly larger size version of these short grips, as well, that would more easily accommodate people with extraordinarily large hands like my husband--he can use these, too, but would be more comfortable using a slightly larger version, I'm sure. I'd bought 2 pairs (4) of these short grips to start with and 2 of the Kitchen Grips full mitts, but I'll certainly be stocking up on these now that I've finally found them again! They are an excellent value, besides being excellent products.

I love my stainless steel pots. I love my cast iron pans. What I don't love about either is burning my hands every time I use them as they don't have protective coverings on their handles or lids. In steps these little doohickies!It is very easy to pull one of the holders out of the drawer, and slip it over the rounded handles of my pots. They grip tight and keep my fingers from being burnt. The downside? You cannot leave these holders on the handles, as they tend to smoke and smell awful! Of course, you wouldn't slip a cloth or cotton pot holder on to a handle and leave it either, so there's that.

I'm a bit clumsy with large potholders--especially when trying to grab smaller or shallower items. I find the kitchen grips very useful for grabbing the sides of hot bowls or plates after microwaving. This is my second set (I misplaced the first when I moved and I sorely missed them).

They probably are great for what they are designed for.....but, I got them to grab mugs out of the microwave after warming milk. The handles are just to hot to hold onto without some protection. These do protect your fingers, but the surface is a little slick and so the grip isn't the best. Nevertheless, for what I am using them to do, I haven't found anything better (well, OK, you can buy very expensive mugs).
