Grippin' grids
While undoubtedly cool looking, the silicone pot holders that have invaded the market in the past few years tend to be stiff and smooth - exactly the wrong qualities for grasping hot pots and pans. The new Grid from SiliconeZone, however, is as flexible as cloth and its waffled texture provides plenty of traction. The 7-inch square can also be used as a trivet or jar opener. It's dishwasher safe and good for temperatures up to 675 degrees. Available for about $8 at Williams-Sonoma in Cedarhurst and in the Walt Whitman Mall; at Sur La Table in Manhasset, and online at surlatable.com and laprimashops.com.
