pot holders

Hot pan grippers

Pot holders are thick, insulated pads used to grip hot cookware—pots, pans, baking dishes—without burning your hands.

They come in various materials: quilted fabric, silicone, or woven loops.

Distinguished from oven mitts by their flat, square shape.

Hand me a pot holder so I can grab this pan.
