Ritz Terry Pocket Mitt & Hot Pad: Unparalleled Heat Resistant, Durable 100% Cotton – Ergonomically Designed for Optimal Grip – Easy-Care Machine Washable, Perfect for Your Kitchen – Dew, 2-Pk

These are the best pot holders! I had an old set of pot holders that I loved and wanted more just like them, but they didn't have any tags to show the brand. I took a chance and order these Ritz pot holders because they looked like they could be the ones - and they were! They're super thick and do a great job insulating your hands from the heat. They're also soft and wash well. Lots of colors to choose from to match any kitchen. Sometimes the most simple items work the best.

I have been on the hunt for "the prefect potholders" for quite some time now. I tried them all - "silicone" mitts both large and small, fabric oven mitts with plastic dots or stripes, stiff square fabric ones, honeycomb plastic ones - you get the picture. None of them really worked. They either left fuzz on my hands when I took them off (the fabric mitts), didn't really grip the pans (the silicone ones - they were too hard), or smushed my cookies or flopped into my pizzas (the stiff fabric squares).I had about given up.Then I came across these babies. I recognized them immediately as the very ones my mom used back in the 70's. They lasted forEVER, and washed beautifully. I saw reviews saying they were too thin, too stiff, too small...I decided to give them a go because I had just about used up all of my other options (AND they reminded me of my mom - hers were that 70's olive green color). WOW am I glad I did. I LOVE these potholders. I prefer the "mitt" type (I can use them doubled and not put my hands in the "mitt" part for extra hot items like a cast iron skillet, or slip my hands inside the mitt for not so hot things like cookie trays. They work beautifully for either situation.The one thing I did to before I used them was wash and dry them. They are so thick that they didn't dry completely on the inside the first time through the dryer (it's a brand new GE Dryer) so I turned them inside out and tossed them in again. They shrunk a bit after being dried which added to the thickness and amped up the heat protection.I am 5'2" and have smallish hands - you can see from the pictures how the mitts fit me. The third picture is of my husband's hands - he is 5'9".I love these so much that I just ordered a second pair and will probably order more for stocking stuffers.

I had a pair of these potholders in red for I don't even know how many years. At one point one of the hems started to unravel, and as I no longer mend (shame on me) I got rid of it. But I still used the other one because I really liked it and it held up well in washing. I tried other brands, at least 3 different ones, but they fell apart, the material wore off around the edges, the hoops were tiny, or they were just too lightweight or heavyweght. I am now back to these again. I like the weight and flexibility of the single layered potholders - I tried their pocket mitts but neither hubby nor I liked them because we don't use the pocket part, and they are just too thick to handle properly if you try to use them as potholders. These are big enough that if you don't think the single layer is going to cut it you can double them over, which I do on occasion. I bought another set in red (goes well with my black accented kitchen, and just ordered the 2 pair set in federal blue (on sale) to match my (Ritz) kitchen towels. Not going to bother with other brands anymore. If a hem unravels, maybe I'll try my hand at mending again. Maybe.

Very cute pot holders for a good price ! They work well too. Try them ! I will be buying more I like the fact that the color green matches my kitchen! Happy I got them. I would recommend them for sure

Great pot holders. They’re the perfect size for grabbing dishes and pans out of the oven (not too small). We’ve been using them for about a month and they’re holding up good so far.Colors look the same in person as they do in the photo!

These are better than expected, very nice! They're thick, but not like a mitt. It's a 4 pack but only 2 are shown here. Theyre certainly thick enough to protect your hands for a 10 seconds while moving something out of the oven or microwave. I had 25 year old ones that were ripping, and these are a wonderful replacement. They are terry cloth on both sides and have nice stitching, with a hanging loop, too. Great buy!

I’ve had a hard time finding pot holders that are thin enough where I can actually grip pots and pans without dropping them. They are the perfect thickness and aren’t so stiff that I can’t grip things. I like the color and how I don’t burn my hands when using them.

Good solid quality. Washes up nicely in laundry. Can use as a regular hot pad or a mitt -- perfect.
