5.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy Kitchen Tool, March 4, 2007

If your a cook of homemade pizza, and you have the high sided pans used in making pan pizza, you'll wonder how you ever got along without this useful little item. I got mine from the same company that produces and sells the aluminum 14" pizza pans on Amazon. It has been well worth the purchase price of a few bucks, and is very well made and sturdy. What I like about the design is that the tighter you squeeze on the clamp handle the tighter it grips the pan. This clamping handle will also work on any high sided metal baking pan; I put it to the test by lifting a hot, food filled 10" cast iron skillet from the oven just the other day. It worked with no difficulty what-so-ever, and offered a great leverage advantage on a very heavy pan. I wouldn't use it with glass pans though, as the pressure would obviously crack them. But for cakes, pies, and of course pizza, you can't go wrong having one of these clamp handles available for lifting hot pans from the oven.

This item had come up on what other customers had bought several times and after reading the reviews and burning myself a few times I decided to order. This is great for repositioning hot pans in the oven as well as lifting them. It really grips the pan. It is one of the little things that is really nice to have and ,fortunately, does not take up much space.

Also, a great item to have for the no knead bread baker. This handy little device enables the pan used on the bottom of the oven to be easily pulled out, the water quickly added, and then moved back into the oven before closing the oven door as the author of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking bread instructs to get that delightful crispy crust.

Very happy with MV Trading's sevice. Will do business with this seller again.

UPDATE: The rivets in the handle broke as some other reviewers complained. The fix is inexpensive and quick (less than 5 minutes).

- two 6/32 X 1 1/2 bolt and two 6/32 self-locking nuts.

Viola! A better than new inexpensive kitchen gadget that I have come to depend on and use frequently.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deep Dish does not mean 2" Deep, December 26, 2010

Amazon recommended this gripper along with fourteen inch diameter, 2" deep pizza pans.
It will not handle 2" deep pans, in fact most "grippers" on the market will not do 2" deep
pans.
