I have some nice, cotton filled pot holders, printed with cute designs. They're quilted and have a wooden ring for hanging. I don't think they're very practical for handling really hot items, though.
I made a great find I wanted to share with you. While shopping at Dollar Tree, I ran across a new item; silicone kitchen mitts. No need to tell you, they were just a dollar.
I've been using this one for a week, now. I really like it. It does provide much more protection than the cotton, quilted pot holders. Yesterday, I used it to lower a quite hot oven rack. It was perfect. I'll keep this little mitt by my stove at all times.
In case you're interested, they do come in several colors.

My flat hair iron is too hot to leave on the counter top while I'm working with it. Although it comes with a heavy plastic holder, it's easier to just place it on a silicone hot pad.
