When it comes to holding hot pots, there are many words that can be used besides "pot-holder". Some synonyms for pot-holder include trivet, hot pad, skillet mitt, oven mitt, cooking glove, potholder glove, heat-resistant mat, and pot coaster. Trivets are typically used to protect tables and countertops from hot pots, while hot pads and skillet mitts are used to handle hot cookware. Oven mitts and cooking gloves are designed to cover the whole hand and wrist, providing better protection against heat. Potholder gloves are a combination of a glove and a potholder, offering more flexibility and dexterity. Heat-resistant mats and pot coasters are used to protect surfaces from heat, but do not provide a way to hold hot pots.
