I've had this for a couple of months now. AND I LOVE IT. I cook a few times a week and bought two of these hot pads for myself. I wasn't sure I'd like the round shape versus the square shape I'm used to, but I haven't even noticed a difference about that. I HAVE noticed a difference because of the thickness of them though! I never feel the heat of a pan or pot with these. Reminds me of how safe I feel with the old Ove Gloves, but hot pad version. No burns with these babies! I suggest ordering TWO.
