Common Questions About Cookware Parts
What are the differences between silicone and cloth hot handle holders?
Silicone handle holders are rated to protect hands from temperatures as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit, while cloth handle holders are rated to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. These are rule-of-thumb numbers and individual models may have different ratings – always follow the specific instructions of the individual model. Silicone holders are better insulators and can resist higher heats, while cloth holders are usually more decorative. Consider the maximum heat you expect your hot handles to reach and purchase a holder able to protect your hands against that heat. Of the holders that will insulate well enough to keep users safe, choose whichever one best suits your style.
How do I choose a holder that will fit my pots and pans?
Each product description provides the dimensions of that handle holder. Since silicone handle holders maintain their shape, operators should purchase one that will fit their most commonly used pans or purchase one for each pan. Cloth handle holders are malleable and fit a wider range of handles, with the users' manual pressure determining how tight the cloth grips the handle. Cloth handle holders can be easily switched between cookware, so operators only need as many as will be in use at any given time rather than buying one for each pan.
How do I choose the right pan or pot lids?
First, check and see if KaTom carries a lid that was built to fit your pot. If you know the brand and model number, search for the lid that is built to fit. However, if you either don't know the model number of your pot or don't want the matching lid – for example, if you want a glass top and the matching pot lids are opaque – consult the product dimensions and find a matching lid that also suits your purposes. KaTom carries steamer covers, glass lids, flat domed pot and pan lids, and many more.
What cookware accessories are available?
Our cookware accessories category contains all manner of miscellaneous cookware parts that do not fit in other categories. Most of the items in the cookware accessories category aid very specific cooking tasks, such as the X and T racks, which help skim different varieties of noodles. Steamer rings enable operators to increase the steaming capacity of their current steaming equipment, providing a foundation on which to stack steamers. Pot grates prevent steaming or blanching foods from falling to the bottom of a boiling pot and getting burned or overcooked. If you're looking for a specific, hard-to-find product, consult the cookware accessories category or give KaTom customer support a call.
