potholders
Kitchen hand protection
Potholders are thick, insulated pads used to handle hot cookware—pots, pans, baking dishes.
They protect hands from burns when moving items in and out of ovens or off stovetops.
Typically square or mitten-shaped, made from quilted fabric or silicone.
Grab a potholder before you touch that pan.
