I wanted a pan lifter that was truly universal. Ours grips the wide rim of our Pie Pans no problem! We also solved a common weak spot by adding a cross brace behind the lower pads to prevent spreading. This is especially important when being used on cups or a stainless steel water bottle. The long handle version is nice when cooking over a wood fire. It also has a cross brace above the top pads to handle the extra leverage.

Aluminum pot and pan lifter with a comfortable and secure grip. Use a lifter for secure handling of hot cooking pots and pans or 40oz stainless steel water bottles. Convenient and packable. Universal fit. Hard anodized.

If heat is the transfer of energy, then to keep your hands away from a hot pot or flames of the fire you need some distance between your hands and the heat. The Firebox Pan/Pot Lifter does just that. Its lightweight, comfortable grip securely grips the hot pot to be lifted from the fire without letting it slip and spill your delicious meal. This lifter is extremely convenient with wood fires.
