potholder
Hot pan gripper
A potholder is a thick pad used to protect hands when handling hot cookware—grabbing pot handles, lifting lids, removing pans from the oven.
Typically made of quilted fabric or silicone, potholders hang near the stove for quick access: Hand me that potholder before I burn myself.
