Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Made of durable suede leather, this sleeve slips over a pan handle to protect a hand from burning when the handle is hot. Its advantage over a glove is that when it's on a handle it serves as a reminder that the handle is hot. Oven-safe to 450 degrees F and machine-washable, the pan handler carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Calphalon Suede Pan Handler (Kitchen)

I own many Calphalon Commercial Hard Annodized pans. For the most part, the stay cool handles do indeed stay cool enough for me to not worry about the heat, especially in stove top situations. However, many recipes call for browning on the stove and then finishing up in the oven (these pans excell at this). The handles are HOT when they come out of the oven - thus I thought this pan handler would be just the thing.

I was somewhat disappointed by the construction of this item. I thought it would be thick, like the quilted cloth ones you see on sizzling fajita pans in restaurants. This thing is THIN! It is fine for covering the handles of pans in use on the cooktop, but with Calphalon's cool-v handles this was not a problem anyway! Unfortunately I have found that when an already heavy pan that is loaded with food emerges from a 350 degree oven this pan handler is not enough to keep the heat of the handle from reaching your hand (ouch).

I know it doesn't cost much but there has to be something better out there...

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for original Professional Hard-Anodized products, July 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Calphalon Suede Pan Handler (Kitchen)

Much easier to use than a clumsy and not-as-effective potholder, and, like all Calphalon products, will last forever. It's essential for the original line of professional hard-anodized products with handles that are impossible to grasp once the pan has been heated (unless you wish to be permanently branded).

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Accessory for Some Calphalon Cookware, May 17, 2001

This Calphalon Suede Panhandler is an essential accessory for use with the original line of Calphalon Professional Hard Anodized Cookware because this line has chrome plated iron handles that get hot to the touch. I use the suede panhandler with omelette pans and sauté pans when I don't already have a Calphalon cool-grip on the handles.
