All-Clad Textiles Silicone Pot Holder, 2 Pack, Rainfall

Really good ones! We had some that were a different brand but very similar, just couldn’t find them anywhere so I looked at these as a replacement and we are very pleased with the quality and how practical they are.

While i have the matching dish pad i figured id get these. Not a huge fan of the silicone lines as they dont move well over hot items and your hand almost slips when they stick. I wish they just left the silicone off.

Lets be real. I was ready to hate these. I was raised on glove pot holders, and this open thing seems like an abomination onto all that is holy. We had bought a hybrid thing at one point that wasn't quite a glove but also wasn't this open, and while it worked to protect the hands... it was the worst... so unwieldy. And somehow that thing accidentally got singed on the stove. Woops. No idea how that happened. Anyway, my husband really wanted this style, and since he makes half the dinners, I figured I should probably compromise on the things we use to cook with. Like how I compromised on a folding twisting whisk because he hates cleaning the regular whisk. I'm so benevolent... anyway I searched high and low, and these had really good reviews, so I figured what's the worst that could happen? These pot holders came in super fast (always appreciated out here in Hawaii, where everthing takes forever to ship) and they were packaged nicely. I wasn't sure how protective they would be - and granted I haven't baked any bread yet - so for all I know they might be too thin to handle my dutch oven coming out of the oven at 450/500 degrees, but for everything else I've used it for - draining pasta, handling hot handles, taking a baking sheet out of the oven, etc... it's protected my hands perfectly. They're nice to touch - they are very grippy too, so I feel secure grabbing things and holding onto them. No heat has come through the material as of yet for anything I've tried so far. They look as good as the day I got them - nothing has singed them nor melted the rubbery stuff. If you're on the fence, I say give them a try. They are working out suprisingly well for me! Plus my husband is happy.

I like the rubbery lines through them. They help opening jars by giving a better grip

When I received these hot pads I was upset as the advertised measurement of 6.25 inches as the width, was only at the top and bottom of the hotpad. The middle of the hot pad is only 5 inches wide, where you're more app to be touching the pan and more easily able to get burned. You have to be very careful how you hold these hot pads are.Your hands will slip on the hot pan. Also. The sewing around the outside to hold the bias tape on, is a very loose basting stitch, If that were to get snagged on anything, it would unravel easily in the wash. I had to sew over the complete outside of each hotpad, with my sewing machine, so it will not come undone, which I should not have had to!
