Hot plate setter

So does anyone have any advice on taking out a hot plate setter. Let's say I was cooking both a pork loin and potatoes and wanted to take and throw them on direct to finish them off and want to take the plate setter off to do that.

Well I would think gloves would be the answer. Try the Orca gloves or welders gloves. You have to be quick even with those.

Ya I have welding gloves. But man still burt my finger.
-
I use welders gloves. They work for a short time so you better have a place picked out to put it.
-
Welders gloves and move very fast to an area already cleared out.
Even then the welder gloves heat up fast. I found wearing pair of "ove gloves" AND using the welding gloves like pot holders works great.Knoxville, TN

I get a hold of the placesetter using my tongs and tilt up until I can grab a hold of it. I have a SS steel bowl that I turn upside down and I park the hot placesetter on that to cool. Needless to say I wear a glove when i handle the placesetter.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

This subject comes up regularly, and the one thing that always is emphasized is "have a place decided on ahead of time to put down the hot plate setter!"Judy in San Diego

New product idea! Hot Plate Setter Mover. Some one should be able to design something like a 3-pronged clamp that we could use instead of burning our fingers... :laugh:

Absolutely true - know where you're going to put it down!
Silicone grabbies work for me, oven gloves are a bit cumbersome to grab it with. Fortunately the platesetter cooks aren't usually the hot ones! -
I agree! You need somewhere to set it down QUICK.
5 feet away is pushing it. Ask me how I know. :( -
This is what several of us are buying for that issue.

Hi Chris - was about to make the same comment...Ditto

so did the gloves work well then? no one really said in that last post. i maybe will get some of these but wold like to know how they worked
-
The original OV glove is the answer. I do it all the time with these. I use them for my wood stove, BGE, oven, anything hot. They give you quite a while before they start getting your fingers hot. There about $15 each, but well worth it. I have used the crap out of mine, and still good.

I use the plate setter lifter for my large egg...........got it from Dicksonbbq .....works like a charm.

I made this to lift mine with and then it hangs under my table on a hook.
