To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Ok so they're just old fashioned hot pads. But do you know how hard it is to find two matching square pads these days? Everyone wants to sell you a square and a mitt which is way too bulky to be used and stored. I keep my pads on the wall by my stove so when I get bored of one color I can just swap out for a new one. They are better for grabbing pans than the silicone ones which tend not to bend so easily. Good value

All 10 came together, no tears or anything. I got it as a gift for my mom and dad to renew their veryy old ones. Whoever said that they were flimsy or burns right away, doesn't know how to cook?? They work just as well as any potholder I've gotten before. Yeah you can't hold the burning pan for minutes on end, but pulling it out of the oven and taking the time to find a place for it doesn't feel hot at all. They look very pretty just like the picture, and my mom loved them.
by the price that you almost always get what you pay for, but I thought I'd take a chance based on the product description, ratings, quantity for price, choice of colors, and the fact that I THOUGHT these would be perfect for what I needed!
The product DID meet all of that, UNTIL I went to use them, but the fact that these have almost a sateen feel to them, makes them very slippery! When I went to take a boiling pot of water off the stove, I almost dropped it because the handle slipped on the pot holder! Very dangerous for me, as well as my pets below me, and anyone else in the vicinity of the stove!
If they used some other type of non-slip material (more of a terry cloth type??), and made them a little thicker, then these would be almost perfect, especially for the price! I will say the size is adequate, the colors are nice, and I can use them on the countertops to place warm pots or dishes, so there's that. For safety's sake, just make sure you have a two-handed firm grip on anything hot when using these pot holders!
4.0 out of 5 starsGreat value, but NOT 100% cotton

I purchased these as a gift to replace many worn out pot holders. I was looking for something simple and cost effective. These fit the bill. The description, however, is misleading, and that is the reason for the 4 stars. They are made of mostly polyester, with SOME cotton. They seem to be holding up, though.
According to the photos, these pot holders are supposed to be 100% cotton. What I received was 100% polyester. Everyone knows that polyester fabric melts when it gets hot. Why would anyone want to make a pot holder out of polyester? I returned them for a refund.
