Great product! Very handy for a variety of uses, and dishwasher safe, too! I've been scouring retail stores for years for the mitt version of this material, at first to find more like the ones I'd liked and been using so much, and later because after many years of use I'd become increasingly concerned I wouldn't be able to ever find replacements if that became necessary. I'd searched Amazon several times over the years without success too, but finally scrolled Google images of pot holders, saw the Kitchen Grips, and located on Amazon not only the mitt pot holders I'd been searching for, but also these excellent short grips, too. Great for Le Creuset Dutch oven handles and lids, and also most other short handles and lids on cookware and ovenware, also great for removing hot plates, bowls and measuring cups from the microwave. I feel a sense of being able to get a surer grip on things with holders made of this type material than I have with conventional, quilted fabrics, or silicone holders. It would be nice, however, if there were a slightly larger size version of these short grips, as well, that would more easily accommodate people with extraordinarily large hands like my husband--he can use these, too, but would be more comfortable using a slightly larger version, I'm sure. I'd bought 2 pairs (4) of these short grips to start with and 2 of the Kitchen Grips full mitts, but I'll certainly be stocking up on these now that I've finally found them again! They are an excellent value, besides being excellent products.
