American Bench Craft Cast Iron Handle Cover

No, you should remove the leather cover before placing your skillet in the oven. While it provides excellent heat protection on the stovetop, the leather is not designed to withstand direct oven temperatures and could be damaged.

The cover features a universal slip-on design that accommodates most standard cast iron skillet and pan handles. Because it is made of flexible, full-grain leather, it easily conforms to various handle shapes and sizes.

Full-grain leather is naturally heat-resistant and durable, making it an ideal material for stovetop cooking. However, like any natural material, it should not be exposed to open flames or direct contact with high-heat burner elements.

We have reinforced the design with a single, heavy-duty rivet at the end of the cover. This structural detail prevents the stitching from failing under tension, ensuring the cover remains intact even with daily use.

To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can dry out the material and compromise its integrity.
