Know before you buy
The Lodge Max Temp Handle Holder is rated for temperatures up to 450°F, making it suitable for most stovetop and oven-to-table cooking tasks.
It is designed to fit most standard Lodge cookware handles. However, it may not fit oversized or specialty handles, so it is best used with traditional cast iron designs.
The integrated steam barrier provides an extra layer of protection against hot steam, which can easily penetrate standard fabric mitts and cause burns while you are handling hot cookware.
Yes, it is machine washable. Because it is made with durable Pyrotex fabric and cotton, you can easily clean it after messy cooking sessions to keep it hygienic.
No, this handle holder is intended for moving hot cookware and should not be left on the handle while the pan is inside a hot oven, as it may scorch or degrade the material.
