MIU France 2-piece red silicone pot holders, item # 99094. These silicone pot holders are a great kitchen accessory. They are great for removing hot pots from the stovetop or baking trays from the oven. It can also be used as a trivet to protect countertops from the heat of hot pots. The silicone is heat resistant up to 650?F. These potholders are dishwasher safe. Each potholder is 7-inches by 7-inches.

I LOVE THESE!!

I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO USING THOSE CLOTH POT HOLDERS AGAIN. THESE ARE THE BEST, THEY WIPE CLEAN AND CAN ALSO BE THROWN IN THE DISHWASHER.

these do the job

At $9.99, the price was right for this set of two silicone pot holders. I already had a set of Orka silicone pot holders and wanted a few more for baking and for use as easy-care trivets. (Edit: as of mid-July 2008 the price has risen to over $11.)

These pot holders do the trick. The raised bumps elevate them from the counter top when used as trivets, and help you hang onto cookie sheets or baking dishes. I feel much more secure with silicone holders than with the old-fashioned cloth ones -- there's no insulation/batting to bunch up in the wash, and these pot holders can be put in the top or bottom rack of the dishwasher for easy cleaning and sanitizing. Putting them in the dishwasher a time or two also makes them more flexible (not floppy).

Please be aware that, as others have mentioned, the color tends toward orange red (what I would call Chinese red or burnt orange). This was a plus for me, and may be for you, too.

Also, the hanger holes, which aren't really necessary, are a little larger than I would like.

red silicone trivets/potholders

This product is nice and flexible. Perfect for taking things out the oven, holding the side of the pot when cooking, and keeping hot plates on top of. The button-type texture allows for a firmer grip when transporting hot plates, pots, and pans. I think the hole that is suppose to be used to hang the trivets on is a good idea, it is in a corner and i guess can allow for burns but you just need to be careful and make sure that part is away from the hot items. This a great alternatives to the silicone gloved potholders because i find those to be more stiff and bulky, making it akward to handle hot items with.

thinner than before

I first bought these great silicone pot holders, four years ago...
I reordered three times for gifts and noticed that the thickness diminished and the price went up.
They still are reasonably functional, but there is a definite loss of quality. Throw your conventional, material potholders away.

You'll still need a set of old-fashioned potholders, but these are very handy to have

These are very good for larger pots and pans, not so much for things you might need more dexterity for (say, holding a metal spoon, adjusting a folding roasting rack, or picking up a pot lid by it's knob.) They're about the thickness and have about the same flexibility as a weekly magazine. I've found that placing my thumb against the 'hang-up hole' provides a bit more gripping control. I recommend having a conventional (thinner) pair of potholders at hand as well.

I really do like these, though - great for dealing with large pans, and best of all they clean very easily and don't absorb water (ever take a pan out of the oven with a potholder that's been sitting on a damp part of the kitchen counter? Ouch!)

I wish my silicone cake pans were as thick as these, and that these were as 'flexible' as my wiggly cake pans...
