Calphalon Twill Pot Holder Review
(1) As with many things that I get tired of because of their mediocrity, I decided to come to Amazon to see if there were better potholders than the cheap, thin ones we have used for years. A little research, a couple days of waiting for them to arrive and voila! I’ll probably never buy another kind of potholder in my life! I got two of these and I couldn’t be more pleased. The silicone is sticky (maybe grippy would be a better word), they look great and they are very heat resistant.
The other day I was forced to hold a super hot pan for well over a minute and although my hands did get warm, they were nowhere near being so hot that I couldn’t have kept holding it. Just a few days before we received these I was racing to put down a casserole that I had been holding for about five seconds with our regular holders. Not anymore. Great product!
(2) I’ve had the orange and green ones for about a year now, and have to say they are the only potholders I can recommend to anyone (others are too big, too small, too stiff, not enough padding, horrible prints, etc…). They are ergonomic, just the right size, and the clear silicone ensures no slipping. That being said, the silicone attracts dust and dirt and food and even after repeated washings, the potholders still look filthy due to grungy silicone (though they are still as functional as new). I just bought some new ones in black and will keep the old ones in a drawer (nice to have an extra set of 2 when others in wash). You can’t go wrong with these.
(3) This potholder must have been designed by a woman! It’s kidney shape, insulation, and silicone stripes make a perfect potholder. One side has silicone stripes from end to end, while the opposite side has stripes from end toward center allowing 1″ to 2″ open space in the middle which makes it very easy to fold over and grip a pot lid or heavy cast iron from oven. I received a free red one with a Calphalon purchase recently and I was going to purchase a different color to match kitchen but chose two black ones because I don’t think they will show grease as readily as the red one and certainly the lighter color ones.
