Say good-bye to old cloth potholders

Did you know that when you use your favorite oven mitt, silicone materials may be protecting your hands?

Heat and stain resistant, silicone potholders flex and fold to help you hold hot dishes – safely. The nonporous surface of silicone kitchenware may be more thoroughly cleaned, minimizing the possibility of bacteria contamination compared to wood or cloth accessories.

Durable, easy-care silicone kitchenware and bakeware bring new color and functionality to kitchens around the world.

Did you know ... the first silicone potholders, called "Gripmitts", were introduced in 1948. They were an innovation ahead of their time.
