MasterClass Cast Aluminum Casserole Pan Sleeve Set, Easy Grip Silicone, 3 Piece, Black

I was pleased with the Masterclass casserole I'd bought, but having to use oven gloves when I used it on the hob was very inconvenient. These pan handle sleeves have remedied that and made it possible to manage the pot far more easily. Heat does come through them, but so far I've only experienced this as warmth, not burning. Very pleased with them.

Pros • Excellent heat protection – no more accidental fingertip grilling • Soft silicone with a comfortable, grippy feel • Fit securely onto handles without slipping off mid-carry • Easy to clean (a quick rinse and they’re good as new) Cons: • Really should be included with the pan in the first place • Only useful if your cookware has compatible handles • Can get warm if left on during long cooking times (still far better than bare metal!) I’ll be honest, these feel less like an optional extra and more like something that should have come in the box with the pan. If you’ve got one of those lovely casserole or tagine-style pans with metal handles that double as branding irons, you’ll know exactly why these are needed. They slip on easily, fit nicely, and instantly turn a “quick grab” into a “yes, I still have fingerprints” moment. The silicone has just enough give to feel comfortable but still grips well, so there’s no wobbling about when lifting a hot dish. I’ve mainly used them with a tagine-style pan, and they’ve been spot on. No slipping, no faffing, just pick up and go without the dramatic kitchen dance of “hot-hot-hot!” while searching for a tea towel. Value At £8.99 for a set of three, they’re in line with similar silicone handle covers out there. Not the cheapest, but fair for the quality and fit. Verdict A small purchase that makes a big difference. If you’ve got cookware with metal handles, these are practically essential unless you enjoy living dangerously. Comfortable, effective, and quietly doing the job they should’ve been hired for in the first place.

I have the masterclass pan and these are invaluable (although why they don’t make a pan that has heat resistant handles is a mystery to me). They do still get hot so you have to be careful, but it’s loads better than not having them, especially the one for the lid. I leave the one for the lid on permanently as it was very tricky to get on! I do think they are expensive for what they are.

Good product

Still get pretty hot but much better for handling and lifting the pot even with gloves. Good grip. Good quality.

Not too bad but can still feel the heat of handles through the silicone. Am keeping them but wouldn’t buy again.

Must have for the master class pan Very durable and once installed no issue Allows you to take the lid off and grip the handles without burning your hands Why did you choose this product over others?: Fits perfectly to the pot

Bought these on a deal and they are well worth grabbing then. Make the handles able to be held when the pan is on the hob which you can’t do without them.
