Mastrad Silicone Pot Holder - High Heat Resistant Trivet is Dishwasher Safe and Featured Double-Sided Non-Slip Ridges For Ultimate Gripability, Blue

These are the best hotpads ever. No hot feeling coming through. Great grip. And, I never use a hotpad that I don't get food on them and usually stains. These rinse immediately or wash later and come out looking brand new again. I've also used them as trivets and they protect great.

I find this pot holder hard to use. I wanted something that didn't get dirty and would be hard to clean as cloth can be (and cloth ones always seem to be light colors), but I find this one awkward to use. The plus about it is that it keeps the heat away from your hand, however it can be difficult to get it around an item being taken from an oven.

Great pot holder. Flexible, easy to clean, great color and it works. I live out if the country and have searched for something like this. I'm very pleased with this item.

I don't like these as well as I hoped to. The main problem is they're difficult to clean. They get sticky/grungy between the ridges and you can't really get them as clean as you want. When you wash them, you can't run a towel over them to dry (again because of the ridges), and you end up with water spots. I probably wouldn't get these again, they're just OK.

This is a good material that insulates well and holds up to very hot temperatures. I like the color, the ease of cleaning, and the ridges that catch any spilled hot grease. The only reason I give it four stars and not five is that it flops compared with a traditional cloth pot holder, so is a harder to use when you are trying to handle hot handles. It works better as a trivet.

I love silicone products, and these pot holders are great. I had cloth pot holders for years and they would always get dirty, stained, or worse. I was never happy with them, and never had one that would come out of the washer looking the same way it went in.Then silicone entered my life and I never looked back. I use these things for everything. They're great pot holders. They are great trivets. They are even fabulous as a spoon rest on my stove. I ended up ordering four of these because of the 4 for 3 deal, and I don't regret that decision.And the best part about them is that when they are dirty I can just stick them in the dish washer with a load of dishes and blamo, they are clean and ready for my next use. When you put them in your dish washer, make sure to place them with the lines going up and down so that the pot holder stands up straight. If you place them in horizontally, the pot holder flops over so that it won't get as clean. Aside from a small kitchen stain one one of them, they look just as good as the day they came in November 2009. I could never say that about any other pot holder I've owned.These blue pot holders match my blue Orka oven mitts perfectly.

I finally broke down and bought a potholder instead of the small towel I was using in the kitchen. This silicone potholder is very pliant, which is what I wanted. I looked at other items and they just looked too bulky. It is very grippy and easily nabs what you want to pick up. I also put my Peets Coofee drip system under it to keep it warmer than the granite counter top. Also, it is just the right size, not too big and not so small as to leave fingers touching hot surfaces. With the grip pattern, it also lifts the pot and your hand farther away from hot. I get the impression you could put the potholder on your hand with pot on top of it and be cool. Haven't tried that though.

Got one before and really like it. The one I got last seems thin and cheap quality. Not sure why they would change the item.
