Fits Lodge cast iron pans w/ short handles. Doesn't fit small Le Creuset cast iron skillet .
I recently purchased the small Le Creuset Cast Iron Signature Skillet (the one that measures 6.3 inches or 1/2 quart in size). I wanted a silicone handle cover for the skillet, rather than trying to use a pot holder with this pan. I also was hoping for the silicone handle cover to closely match the length of the actual handle and not be so long, that you may not get a good grip on the pan when picking it up. While Le Creuset does make silicone handle covers, they are all the longer length, and so I took my chance and ordered this silicone handle cover instead.While the length of this handle cover is perfect, and even the shape looks like it should be the perfect fit for that particular sized Le Creuset skillet, it does not fit, as when you go to slip it on the handle, it is not quite as wide as it looks. So I did end up having to purchase the long handled Le Creuset silicone cover instead anyway.The quality looks great and the grip too on this holder. If you owned the Lodge pan I would have no reservations about recommending it. I honestly am writing this review for the Le Creuset owner though who wants that smaller length silicone handle for their pan and sees this as an option, because it is not going to work for Le Creuset.

It protects from the heat, and will feel secure in your hands
This handle fits snugly onto my cast iron skillet, and doesn't move around when I move it. While it won't block all of the heat of a hot pan, it does help mitigate it enough to avoid injuries. I would gladly purchase this again for all my other current and future cast iron supplies

Oops! But it turns out OK.
Messed up and ordered this Mini Silicone Hot Handle Holder by mistake, instead of the larger one. :-/It actually fits tight on my 10.25" & 12" skillets, but it still kind of squirms on the handle if you try to pick up a loaded skillet with just the one handle. It works well if you use the assist handle (with the silicone handle cover that is made for it) and use two hands.Got my 10.25" to a rippin' hot 5 minute pre-heat with the handle already on it, to sear a sous vide steak, and I could still grab and lift the pan barehanded when I was done. It was a little warm to the touch, but still very manageable, with no sense of urgency to want to let go of it. These things are really made to slip on just before you grab the skillet, and slip off right away once you are done moving it. Some people have the misguided notion that these are meant to stay on the handle for a whole high heat cooking cycle (some even leaving them on in the oven) and then burning their hands. Of course they get too hot to handle when you do this. ...THEY ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG! You use them like you would use a pot holder, slip it on, move the skillet, then slip it off right away.This Mini holder doesn't easily slip on or off of the big skillets like it is supposed to do, so I will likely buy the larger version of it for my big skillets. I'll probably keep this smaller holder, and buy one (or a few) of Lodge's small skillets for it to fit on.

Fits my old 8" Lodge frying pan very well.
Functionality:I remember my mom cooking in this little 8" frying pan when I was a kid. I didn't know if the handles had changed over time, but this silicon cover fits like a glove.

Good but big for 8” pan handle
I have an 8” pan and this handle cover is a little big. It moves around a bit. So not very safe when I’m removing the pan from the stove…but it’s fine while I’m cooking on the stove.

Get the right size!
We picked up a 10" Lodge cast iron skillet at a yard sale and after I restored it to like-new condition, I realized that the handle gets HOT!! (Yeah, rocket science.) So I ordered a Lodge silicone handle, only to find that it was too big. Turns out that I needed the "mini" handle. Live and learn.The skillet gets hot, but I hold it via the mini handle holder with no problem. Great product.

A small handle cover but fits right on large cast iron fry pan
I thought it might be too small, but it does fit correctly on a large cast-iron frying pan handle
