Extremely versatile, the heat resistant cool tool is made from silicone; allowing it to be used as a surface protector under hot pans and for handling hot dishes. Its non slip surface is a great help under mixing bowls, chopping boards and carving dishes and also acts as a handy gripper for opening even the most stubborn of jars. Able to withstand temperatures of up to 250C, it will not scratch, stain or damage cookware surfaces and will not melt.
