Perfect for removing hot Instant Pot inner liner!
I bought this to remove the Instant Pot inner pot after pressure cooking (IP 3-qt. Duo). As we 'pot heads' all know, it can be a little tricky to get under the lip of the inner pot full of yummy goodness to remove it after pressure cooking, because that little pot dude is steaming HOT. What a great little pair of grip holders to make things easier! You do need to pay attention to assure you get a good grab & watch out for slipping due to wetness, but I found I got the hang of it pretty quickly, without much effort. As with any new tool, just need to learn how to use it. I have small hands & it's very easy to keep the tools clamped with no effort, even with the weight of a full pot. You do need to use both clamps to remove a full pot. The silicone provides a really good grip & is also very useful removing pot-in-pot containers as well, without having to get your hands inside the main pot.One small thing to watch out for - there's a little metal doodad that locks the clamp closed via an indentation in the plastic part of the handle. Just a light press unlocks it, but sometimes it twirls to the underside when open & you can't clamp. No big, you just have to watch it. I hope that makes sense...if you look at the product picture, hopefully you can see the metal 'lock' hanging down. It would be nice to have the indentation to hold that little metal part when the tool is open. Just something to be aware of when using.I just love this thing! The pair stores nicely in the closed position. This little tool has also solved many other cooking issues than I ever imagined & find myself using for much more than just my Instant Pot! I find I'm using it quite often for handling hot microwave dishes or removing hot pans from oven & stove, as well as rinsing stuff in very hot water in the sink or anything you don't want to touch. Just a handy little tool! I am more than pleased with my purchase & it seems very well made, light & sturdy, affordable. The seller followed up several times before & after my order to make sure I had received, was happy & there were no issues. Great customer service in my book. I do recommend this gadget & can't imagine doing without it now that I've been using it so many times a day!

Practice may make a perfect gadget
A very good idea to save yourself from burn fingers when you're potholders are not handy. They take a little getting used to and you can fumble a lot until you get a good grip on the edge of a pot or pan when you need it. They feel very sturdy in your hand and do not cause problems.You need a little practice in order to save yourself from a serious burn on the top of your hand. Pull out an oven rack that has a hot pan on it, and do not reach into the oven with the grippers. If you are heating frozen food that comes in a flimsy tray, be sure to use both grippersat the same time or you will end up with a mess. A little practice will make it a worthwhile gadget.

Better than pot holders
These work great. I bought these because my girlfriend was burning her fingers and almost dropping bowls and plates being removed from our air fryer. Using pot holders.

Hot Plate Gripper Clips: Handy Kitchen Helpers with Just One Little Grip Quibble!
Hey everyone, I just had to share this find with you! So, I was feeling lazy (who isn't? ), so I unscrewed all the handles off my pans to make them dishwasher-safe.

I can now chuck my cookware into my tiny dishwasher without fear. No more fiddling with handles and such.They're simple to use, and the design is rather appealing. The clips keep the hot plates securely in place, preventing me from burning my fingers or dropping anything. But here's the thing: I wish they had a stronger grip. I think they could use a little more energy to hold the plates more tightly.However, that is not a deal breaker for me. These gripper clips continue to do the job and have made my lazy dishwashing life so much easier. So, despite the minor quibble, I'd say they're fantastic cooking companions to have around!If you're like me and don't like to deal with hot pans, these Hot Plate Gripper Clips are worth a try.

Avoid burns and spills with these little helpers!
These took a little bit of getting used to but once I mastered them I wouldn’t live without them. I frequently order Tovala meals which cook in small aluminum pans. It is very difficult to use regular hot pads or oven gloves to remove them from the Tovala oven but these work great. I discovered another use when removing pans from my microwave which is over my stove and difficult for me to reach and grasp dishes securely. These little clamps work like a charm.
