This silicone hot handle is designed differently from others we've seen, in a way that lets it fit pretty much pan handle without fuss. The U-shaped handle stands on its edges, so it's always ready to use. And since the U is always open, you just drop it over the handle of a hot pan; no more sliding a handle on and off a pan. The little nibs all over the surface ensure a safe grip, even if your hands are wet. It measures 6" long, and if pressed flat would be 5.5" across. It's heat proof to 500 degreesn F and being silicone is stain-proof, flexible and dishwasher safe, too.
