Lodge, Assist Holder Silicone Black

Works well on my cast iron that have the support handle.

The Lodge Silicone Assist Handle Holder has been a game changer in my kitchen. Designed specifically for traditional cast iron skillets, this handle holder provides the perfect solution to handling hot cookware safely and comfortably. As an avid cook who regularly uses cast iron skillets, finding a reliable and effective handle holder has been a top priority, and the Lodge Silicone Assist Handle Holder exceeds all expectations.First and foremost, the heat resistance is outstanding. The silicone material can withstand high temperatures, allowing me to confidently move hot skillets from the stovetop to the oven and back again without the fear of burning my hands. This has made cooking a much more enjoyable experience, as I no longer have to struggle with awkward and ineffective makeshift potholders.The ergonomic design of the handle holder ensures a secure and comfortable grip. The textured surface provides extra traction, preventing any slips or accidents when handling heavy, hot skillets. This added layer of safety is invaluable, especially when cooking with larger or heavier cast iron pans. The assist handle fits snugly over the skillet's handle, ensuring it stays in place throughout the cooking process.One of the best features of this handle holder is its dishwasher-safe design. Cleaning up after a cooking session is a breeze, as I can simply toss the handle holder into the dishwasher along with the rest of my cookware. The silicone material is durable and stands up to regular use and washing without losing its shape or effectiveness.In addition to its functionality, the handle holder's sleek design and vibrant colors add a touch of style to my kitchen. It's clear that Lodge has put a lot of thought into creating a product that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.For anyone who regularly uses cast iron skillets, the Lodge Silicone Assist Handle Holder is an essential tool. It combines heat resistance, comfort, and convenience to provide a superior cooking experience.

This arrived and it looked way too large, but it fits my Lodge Double Dutch Oven, my 10 1/4" deep skillet I use as a Nabe pot for my Japanese Nabemono and hot pot meals, and 12" skillet perfectly, the curve matching the pot or pan.It also fits my very old (1840's) 5 qt deep camp Dutch Ovens, and helps steady my 1840's European style 2.5 qt, 3 legged bean pot - NOT the African one - when I'm moving it.I also have Wagner, Griswold, and very old unidentified skillets with assist handles, my 3 qt, 4 qt deep, and two 5 qt, DO's (one deep), which it works very well on.I have 4 carbon steel & Chinese cast iron woks with the metal loop handles, from Wok Shop on Amazon, and this works on them, but not quite as well as the ASPHH31, more rectangle shape holder. Again this is worth it just to remind the handles are hot. Not much problem on the kitchen stove, but using my Big Kahuna (Amazon) as a wok stove, the handles get very hot.I recommend this highly. If I need to leave it on a handle as warning, like with my metal handle woks, I'll just use a pot holder over this holder to move the skillet, wok or DO. Just having this red thing on a hot handle as warning has saved many nasty burns, especially when someone else didn't realize the skillet, wok or DO was still very hot. That safety alone would have paid for them (I just ordered 1 more of each shape) even if they didn't work so very well as an assist holder.

Great for cooking with cast iron. The design is comfortable and not slippery. It’s a little loose on my Lodge 12” pan handle so you just have to make sure it’s on properly (the only reason I dropped a star). Easy to use and clean.
