I bought these years ago and for a very long time I didn’t use them because of the slit in them. I figured it was for a pot handle to go through, but it never really made sense to me. They were in the bottom of my drawer for a long time. They were moved to the top so I started using them and it never failed that I would grab a hot pan and the slit would open and I would burn myself. I kept saying, “Oh I should sew that!” Well, I burned myself for the last time. So recently while I was on a phone call telling someone the story I decided enough was enough and I sewed that opening closed.
Do any of you have potholders with slits in them? Do you use them (hang them off the pot/pan)?
