Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mario Batali Silicone Pot Handle Sleeve/Grip Mitt, Pesto
Customer Review: Can't deal with the slits!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
As Joy mentions above, the slits are a major issue, but I wouldn't even say they are "just OK". This is a fatal flaw! Did Signoro Molto even try these things out at some point in the design process? First of all, don't try reaching into the oven to grab a pan handle with one of these. If you can get the *entire sleeve* over the handle to spin it around (difficult in smaller ovens like mine), you ain't gettin' that pan out. Like to choke up on the handle for sauteeing in larger pans or cast iron (a necessity for those of us without Mario's Shrektastic physique)? Prepare to enjoy the delicious aroma of your own searing flesh when the slits open up and expose the hot metal to your skin.
This seemingly fabulous improvement over the plain-old silicon sleeve is a major fiasco. When will we learn that being a celebrity chef and TV personality DOES NOT qualify you to design kitchen gear?!
If you're looking for a sleeve by the way, try a classic like this -in green even! Not as sleek, but I've used one like this for years and never had an issue.
