No pot holder does it all, but this may well have a place in your kitchen. This design is worth cosidering because of several special features:

* non-absorbent material means you never have to worry about stains OR wetness conducting heat

* design works especially well with "ear" shaped handles, or the helper handle on a large saute pan

* excellent for use as a "pusher/grabber" with an Orca mitt to remove a large item from the oven without burning the "inside" hand--use the Orca mitt on the INSIDE hand, of course...

* handy to leave atop the cover of a large pot simmering on the stovetop...

This is not only handy, it's cute. Since I received them as gifts, I have several colors. My favorite is the red, because it's hard to lose.

Works great, keeps you from getting burned when handling hot pot handles. Would love to see it made a little bit bigger though.

Silicone has to be the best invention to hit the kitchen in decades! After seasonally replacing my potholders due to stains, burns, and washings, I was quite happy to start using this silicone pothandle holder. It is SO AMAZING and so ergonomically designed that I would not do without it. First off, the pothandle holder completely protects all four of my fingers with my thumb resting on the top. The grooved ridges inside help ensure a tigher fit and non-slip when lifting and gripping handles. The small curvature on both ends also protects fingertips from burns. It washes up like new in either the sink or the dishwasher, it holds its shape, and looks modern in a kitchen. Best of all, since it washes clean should it get dirty, it helps you to keep a more sanitary kitchen. Some people have complained on here that is was small, so I was expecting a smaller pothandle holder, but in fact it's plenty big. If you did want something bigger, just do a searh for MIU France on Amazon and you will see that they do offer the silicone full size potholders at a very affordable price.

I love this thing. Fantastic for lids that have handles (I do not have lids that have knobs) and to pull baking sheets that are not too heavy out of the oven. My mother used it at my house and asked me to get her two for her own kitchen.

This is well made, has nice ridges on the inside, and works exactly like it looks.

In practice, I never use it. It's a little too small and slippery to get a good grip.

I just use a towel typically.

I had an older style of this potholder and loved it. It wore out, so I was delighted to find on Amazon. I ordered one 6 months ago for 5.99 and love it, great deal. I decided to order another and planned to order some for my grown children. The price really surprised me. I can't believe the price went from 5.99 to 15.99 or 20.99 for blue. That is why I am writing. Nothing should jump that much!

I find I must be very careful about finger placement before moving any hot things around because the moment I am not paying attention is the one where I burn myself. My hands are rather small, too, so anyone with regular or large hands might want to look around for a bigger set. The concept is great, and they do prevent heat transfer.

Fully realizing that it's always Buyer Beware---- I was disappointed to see how small the product is.

Yes, the dimensions were listed. My bad for not noticing them.

My complaint: I have average sized female hands. I couldn't safely lift out a tray of muffins since the pad wouldn't accommodate more than fingers on the pan. And yes, I MIGHT have bought two (suggested) but didn't think I needed two.

My suggestions:

Put a coin next to the image to make sure the buyer realizes how small they are.

If you're a man with larger hands, the pad is definitely too small.

If you're a senior citizen and need more support lifting a hot casserole
from the oven---- DO NOT BUY THIS PAD. Even having two wouldn't help because by the time you removed the casserole out far enough to use the second pad---- the casserole might be on the floor!

These work great for everything, especially cast iron frying pans and
Le Creuset french Ovens! Store well on my oven handle! (get two)

This holder is very good to get big pans or metal handle pots without the risk or burning yourself or the pot slipping through your hand, but they either should come in pairs or accompanied by a mitt or another holder. By itself is mostly useless as being so thick and small, you cannot get the appropriate grasp to hold a big put or pan in your hand, the way you do with a towel

For that I give it four stars, but it is a great product
