TEMPERATURE PROTECTION: These are commercial bakers hot pads, with a terry outer fabric, vinyl steam barrier, and a 100% cotton interior combining to protect you from temperatures up to 450-degrees. STEAM PROTECTION: Constructed with an interior vinyl lining to protect you from steam and liquids when you're busy cooking and grabbing hot pots and pans. COMFORT AND SAFETY: These pot holders have soft terry on one side for easy grabbing, an elastic hand strap for easy handling, comfortable 100% cotton fill, and are 8" x 11" to cover your hand completely. DURABLE: While synthetic fabrics will melt when exposed to high heat and pressure, cotton won't. Both sides and the fill of these hot pads are manufactured with 100% cotton that won't melt with repeated high heat and pressure. EASY-CARE: These beige cotton and terry hot pads are machine washable. When they get dirty, just throw them in the washing machine. We recommend washing on gentle cycle and drying at low heat.
