DII Holders Resistant Machine Washable Reviews Summary

Heat Resistance

Pros:

• "These are perfect for cast iron pans. They don’t slip, the heat doesn’t come through and they are easy to take on and off."
• "They have a heat resistant side that makes them even more durable."
• "These potholders really block the heat no matter which side faces the hot item."
• "They are very durable and heat resistant so it protects your hands."
• "I do not feel one bit of burning heat coming through when getting pots out of the oven."
• "These pan holders work very well and allows little to no heat through them."
• "They are thick enough to completely protect my hands when removing pans from the oven, yet flexible enough to fold readily in my hands."

Cons:

• "These mitts do the job but are not all that great."
• "Sometimes I can feel the heat coming through the mitt."
• "These provide no protection from heat. But they’re pretty…"
• "they got a little wet and the steam came through the silver side and burned my hand"
• "The current version is thin and has almost no heat resistance."
• "Not all that protective either. Take your dish out of the oven and put it down quick!"
• "Additionally, washing and drying potholders will typically wear down the heat resistant side making it more likely to burn yourself."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "These are better quality than expected- made sturdy and thick."
• "They are good utility, are well put together, and should last through many washings and several years of wear in my high duty kitchen."
• "After 3 years these still look new and I’m a maniac in the kitchen."
• "The terry cloth material is soft and the handles are thick. These are high quality, well made pan handle holders."
• "These pan holders are made of a thick, padded terry cloth and are perfect for removing cast iron pans from the stove."
• "I love the quality of materials used in making these! I was really surprised how well they are made for the great price I was able to get them for."
• "They are well put together and I feel like they were made to be sturdy."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately after the first wash they were so tiny, they shrunk terribly."
• "Color was horrible quality terrible not a red at all very disappointed in these pot holders."
• "First time in the washer, they've fallen apart! The Mitts are even worse!"
• "They wear out too fast. Threads get bare in a lot of spots after only a dozen or so washes."
• "One of them now has a big tear on the seam on one face, and none of them look great after washing."
• "Quality seemed ok at first but having purchased in Jan it is now July and 2 have completely fallen apart."
• "Sadly, the binding came off the very first time washed. I have never had pot holders do this before."

Design and Comfort

Pros:

• "Fits good on our cast iron fry pan handle."
• "They're easy to hold around pot or dish handles, or thin cookie trays etc."
• "These pot holders are secure in your hands and do a simple job perfectly."
• "I've never had oval pot holders and I totally understand why you would now. They fit your hand so much better than square ones."
• "I like that they fold neatly along the diagonal quilting line, which automatically gives you the other diagonal as the gripping surface - no more burnt fingertips or hasty rearranging because you picked up the potholder wrong."
• "These are nice and flexible so easy to hold but also are sufficiently heat resistant."
• "They are easy to clean. Just toss in the washer, or wipe off the spill from the silvery, smooth side."

Cons:

• "In my opinion they are not a good purchase."
• "I don't like huge potholders that get in the way. Really do keep you from getting burnt."
• "My wife refuses to use them as she feels she will drop the pan since she can't grip well with them."
• "They are a little small and I wish they had a hand pocket so I could use them as a mitt."
• "I tried to use them in the oven with a pizza pan and could not grip the edge with any dexterity."
• "they are so bulky that I can't grip the pan very well."
• "They do not have enough flexibility to make them safe to use."
