Know before you buy
The cover is designed to fit most standard cast iron skillet handles. Because it is made of high-quality leather, it will naturally mold to the specific shape of your handle over time for a custom, secure fit.
Yes, this handle cover is oven-safe. However, we recommend removing it if you are using the broiler or subjecting the pan to extremely high temperatures for extended periods to preserve the longevity of the leather.
Leather provides excellent heat insulation and a more tactile, ergonomic grip than silicone. The addition of heat-resistant Kevlar stitching ensures the seams remain durable even when exposed to high-heat cooking environments.
The cover is designed for a snug fit that stays in place during normal use. As you use it, the leather will conform to your specific pan handle, creating a tighter, more reliable grip.
You should spot clean the cover with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid submerging it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can dry out or damage the leather.
