An 8" x 8" potholder provides ample coverage for safely handling hot cookware. The heat-resistant backing, often made of materials like aluminized fabric or reflective cotton, acts as a barrier to prevent burns from reaching your hands. The inner lining, usually cotton or a similar absorbent fabric, adds an extra layer of insulation and also helps to absorb any moisture that might come from steam. This combination of materials ensures a comfortable and effective tool for protecting yourself in the kitchen, allowing you to confidently grab hot pots, pans, and baking dishes.
