Discount Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

Customer Ratings:

As someone getting up in years and not in the best of health, this item is something that I wish I had when I started using my cast iron skillets on a glass-topped range. A full 10 or 12 inch cast skillet is more than I can handle gracefully with one hand and this holder is much better than even a silicone hot pad. I'm going to get another, so I can cook with with 2 large skillets at once. If you are buying a large skillet, get one of these assist handle holders and a silicone handle cover with it.

I bought two of these, one for each skillet I own. I probably should have done a little measuring first but was surprised when I received these and found out that the handle on my medium (10") skillet is smaller than the handle on the large (12") skillet. It sitll functions, but just doesn't sit perrfectly. It would be GREAT if Lodge tweaked these a bit a lip on the bottom edge to prevent knuckles curling around the handle and hitting the skillet, and also a bump or button in the middle of these to go up into the hole in the handle, to hold it on and prevent it sliding off. They definitely are handy to have, especially as my husband tries to make breakfast with the kids they are prone to reaching for things without thinking first so we've stuck these on all handles. Bottom line, they're handy but not perfect.

Best Deals for Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

I have cooked with cast iron for years so I was skeptical of this "handle holder." I must also say that I am not a fan of silicone, if you get a cheaper product, and I don't mean price, then you won't be happy.

Having said that, I really like this product. I can grab my pots, either on the stove top or in the oven, and be confident that it won't slip or burn my hand. If you place the holders, I bought 2, on the handle correctly which is VERY easy then It really does "assist" your ability to safely and securely grab the pot!

I will definitely be purchasing some of these for my family and friends who also use cast iron. Yes, I would use these camping as well.

Some details -

trying to pick up a cast iron pot, pan etc... using just one of these with a pot will not work. I'm 5'3", 122lbs and over 50 :), so I like to hold both sides.

You can use 2 of these on pots with assist handles OR

you can use 1 of these along with the Lodge silicone hot frying pan holder. I'm happy with both!

Clarification this will not work on a frying pan or traditional "pot" handle only the side assist handles.

Honest reviews on Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

Works well and lets very little heat through the Silicone. Note though; It should not be left in place while cooking.

One slight downside is the little hole on the outer edge of the bottom piece of Silicone. Depending on the pan you use this holder on, you do have to be careful not to pick up a hot pan with your finger over the hole! Its about 1/8" in diameter (its where the product tag was attached) and is just big enough to let your skin touch a red hot piece of metal pan if you are not careful.

These are a must-have if you own Lodge pans or skillets. Perfectly molded for that little handle across from the big one. We own two of these and use them every time we cook with our Lodge cookware.
