Lodge Orange Silicone Hot Handle Holder — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lodge Orange Silicone Hot Handle Holder?
The Lodge Orange Silicone Hot Handle Holder is a heat-resistant silicone sleeve designed to fit over the handles of Lodge cast iron skillets and pans. It provides a secure, comfortable grip while protecting your hand from heat when cooking or serving.
What materials and temperature limits does it have?
Made from premium, heat-resistant silicone, this handle holder is safe up to approximately 450°F (232°C). It’s designed to withstand stovetop, oven, and grill use — though it should not be exposed directly to open flames or broiler elements.
Which Lodge pans does it fit?
It fits most standard Lodge cast iron skillets with traditional handles (10.25-inch and larger). It may also fit other brands with similar handle shapes, though fitment can vary slightly depending on handle size.
How do I use it safely?
Always place the silicone holder on the handle before moving or lifting the hot skillet. Avoid leaving it on during oven or grill use for prolonged periods; instead, slip it on when ready to handle the pan. Never expose it to direct flame or burners.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, the silicone handle holder is dishwasher safe. You can also hand-wash it with warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to preserve the smooth silicone surface.
Are other colors available?
Yes. Lodge offers this handle holder in a variety of colors (including black, red, and blue), allowing you to match your kitchen or grill accessories. The orange version is especially popular for visibility in busy cooking areas.
