Description

Cook with confidence with the Pan Buddy. This handle slides on to any* saucepan, frying pan or wok to create a vertical handle.

Features

  • Easy to secure and remove
  • Vertical handle adds leverage and support
  • Keeps wrist in natural position, easing wrist strain
  • Heat-resistant to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (148 degrees Celsius)
  • Universal: suitable for use by left and right-handed cooks
  • BPA-free and easy to wash by hand

If you need a bit of extra support you could use your Pan Buddy with our General Purpose gripping aid or Lite aid for an extra firm grip. Please exercise caution when dealing with hot objects, we recommend trialing with cold pans first to ensure it is suitable for you.

Pan Buddy Dimensions

*The opening is 1.56 inches (3.96cm) and designed to fit on almost all cast-iron skillets.

The Pan Buddy weighs 195g. It is nice and sturdy, but if it is on a light, empty pan it may cause the pan to tip towards the handle.

Made of Nylon. This is a material which would typically be used on a pan handle.

Our CEO, Rob, had a go when these great tools first arrived. Rob usually likes any excuse not to cook, but here’s what he had to say:

“I was surprised just how much grip and support the Pan Buddy gave me.  I have very poor hand function so I expected I would also need to use my general purpose gripping aid to hold the handle especially with heavy pans. However the design is very clever and allowed me to feel confident with the way all the weight was taken by the gap between my thumb and first finger and the forearm support.  Great design and very easy to attach and use.”
