Is there something I can fabricate or buy that will insulate the know on my lid on my pot.
I currently have to use a pot holder to check my chili etc.

These might be a bit slippery .. perhaps a strong twist-tie would hold it on ?

Thanks. Clever idea. :-)
Since I only hand wash, I will glue them.

Good luck - trying to glue silicon to glass ... safely on a cooking lid ... John T.
.. sorry - not a glass knob, but stainless steel - Have you tried just replacing the knob with an old fashioned bakelite one ? John T.
These lids are made to see through. You should have bought a more expensive pot with a double pane lid.

You don’t want to insulate it, you want to conduct the heat away from it.
Weird how you spelt knob wrong, twice, and the keys arent even remotely adjacent either.
That’s really all you can do, have some form of removable thing that grips the knob.
Or wood. If you used wood it would save the bakelite trees from needless destruction.
Thanks.
I already ordered the silicone cupcake holder.
If it does not work, I will use a wooden knob like they use on drawers.

I am happy with it.

I was testing how sharp you are. :-)

Or replace the know, er, I mean, Knob, with an insulated type such as wood, assuming it's removable.
You'll use that to cover the know? It can sit there the whole time without obstructing the view like a ???
Or you'll take off the know and run its screw through the cupcake holder
I was facetious obviously but did a search to see if there was such an animal. Found that Amazon sells silicone rubber lids that a set will cover any size pot or pan.
