Lodge Max Temp Handle Mitt, Black

After a few weeks of daily use with cast iron skilets, I decided the handle mitt is a keeper. Handier than reaching for a pot holder. I leave it on the pan all the time using a glass top electric stove.

We use cast-iron skillets (Lodge, of course) all the time. These are great at avoiding the burning handle.

Works for about 15 seconds, then the heat starts coming through. I found it sufficient to maneuver the skillet around on the stove (and only if you put it on the handle just before maneuvering), but pot-holders are still required if you intend on long term contact with the handle. It is also sufficient for removing the skillet from the oven, as long as you're just putting the skillet on the stove-top.

Its a tiny oven mitt to keep you from burning yourself or having to deal with over-sized mitts while cooking with a cast iron skillet. Works great. Nice to have since we use the skillet so much.

This mitt works well, but if you are cooking something at a high temperature ( > 400 degrees F, or so), the heat can penetrate the material.
