Set and Forget: Use these farm animal lid lifters to set your crock pot cooks or boils up without the need to keep checking on them; set it and forget it!Increase Air Circulation: By giving the sauce, pasta water, vegetables, or other ingredients room to breathe, these lid lifts allow steam to escape, while the gap allows cooler air to enter the mixture, regulating the temperature of your food for more even cooking.Prevent Water Boiling Over: Lid lifters raise the lids off of pots and pans while the ingredients simmer, minimizing the chance of water, sauce, tea, soup, or anything else boiling over. Heat Resistant: The silicone is heat-resistant up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can include them in cooking experiments without worry; the soft silicone also will not scratch metal, glass, or ceramic dishes.Dimensions and Care: Measures 1.75" L x 5" W x 3.75" H.
