How to Care for Meyer Silicone Handle Covers

Quick answer

Wash your Meyer silicone handle cover by hand with mild soap and warm water, then air-dry completely before storing or reusing.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Remove and cool down: Take the silicone handle cover off the skillet and let it cool completely before cleaning. A common mistake is rinsing it while still hot, which can trap steam and cause burns.
2. Hand wash with mild soap: Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Gently scrub the entire surface, especially the inner ridges where grease can collect. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the silicone.
3. Rinse and air-dry: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue. Shake off excess water and place the cover on a drying rack or towel. Do not put it in the dishwasher or microwave to dry—high heat can weaken the silicone. Check for any stuck-on food after drying; if needed, repeat the wash step.
4. Store in a dry place: Once fully dry, store the cover in a cool, dry drawer or hang it away from direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can cause silicone to become brittle.
