Pot Holders or Mitts - Which One to Use?

Article Category: Advice

Although interchangeable in some cases, pot holders and mitts have different unique purposes. Knowing which one to use can make cooking more convenient and also a lot safer.

When to Use a Pot Holder?

A pot holder can be a quick go-to kitchen tool when you need to remove or move the cover of a hot cooking pot. It's easier to use than a mitt because you don't have to put your hand or fingers in, as you would in a glove. The pot holder is also ideal for holding non-insulated pot or pan handles. It can provide more handling control than a mitt and excellent for quick wok cooking.

A pot holder can also be used for other purposes as well. If made from the right material like silicone, pot holders can also be used as hot pads, coasters, hot handle grabbers, laptop pads, plant pads, jar openers, cutting board mats, plate scrapers, placemats, and trivets. Trivets are placed between the bottom of the hot pot or pan and the table surface to protect the latter from heat or water damage. Mitts can't be used for the mentioned purposes because of the design.

When to Use a Mitt?

What it lacks for flexibility and handling, Mitt makes up with better protection. Mitts cover your fingers and the whole hand keeping it safe from exposure to high temperatures and scaling hot liquids. It is for this purpose that oven mitts were invented by a baker who had an accident that left his fingers and hands badly disfigured.

Some mitts extend up to part of the arm to give even more protection. These mitts are useful when you are doing some cooking using an oven. They are also perfect for handling pots with boiling liquids. The steam from the liquid can be hot enough to induce first degree burns to the hands and arms if not handled properly.

Which Material is Best for Oven Mitts and Pot Holders?

Although cloth and leather has been the traditional materials for pot holders, oven mitts, and even trivets, these may not protect from hot liquids because they are porous. High end materials like Kevlar can also be used but they will be very expensive.

Food grade silicone is a material that has been making its name in the cooking industry. Highly resistant to temperatures above 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit and non-porous, it's ideal for making pot holders and oven mitts. Production can also be cheaper than using cloth or leather. Silicone also allows better grip than what the other materials can provide.
