Quick Overview: Le Creuset Silicone Round Cool Tool, 20cm. Surface protector, anti-slip mat, pot holder and jar opener. Heat resistant to 250C.

The Le Creuset Silicone Round Cool Tool is a deceptively useful kitchen accessory. At 20cm in diameter it fits under most standard pot and casserole bases, protecting surfaces from heat whilst keeping cookware stable with its non-slip silicone grip. It also works as a pot holder, jar opener, and anti-slip mat for mixing bowls and boards, making it one of the few kitchen accessories that genuinely earns more than one use. Heat resistant to 250 degrees C, freezer compatible, and dishwasher safe, it is the kind of thing that quietly becomes indispensable.

  • Heat resistant surface protector: High-performance silicone rated to 250 degrees C protects kitchen surfaces and tables from hot pots, pans, and dishes placed directly on them.
  • Four uses in one: The Cool Tool works as a surface protector, anti-slip mat, pot holder, and jar opener, covering the most common everyday needs without requiring separate accessories.
  • Non-slip grip on both sides: The silicone surface grips both the worktop and the base of cookware, keeping pots and pans stable when placed on it and preventing the trivet from sliding.
  • Freezer compatible down to -23 degrees C: As well as protecting from heat, the Cool Tool is rated for use with cold and frozen items, making it suitable for resting chilled dishes on as well as hot ones.
  • Dishwasher safe and easy to store: The Cool Tool goes in the dishwasher for cleaning and lays flat for storage, taking up minimal space in a drawer or cupboard.

What Customers Ask About This Product

Will this protect my table from a very hot casserole dish?

The Cool Tool significantly reduces heat transfer from a hot dish to the surface beneath it, but it does not provide total heat insulation. For very heavy cast iron straight from the oven, it offers good protection for most surfaces, but exercise care on particularly delicate or lacquered surfaces.

Can I use it as an oven glove?

It is not designed to be used as an oven glove. The Cool Tool is intended to protect the surface beneath a hot dish rather than to act as a heat barrier between your hand and something hot. Use a proper oven glove for handling hot cookware directly.

Does it fit under a Le Creuset casserole?

Yes. The 20cm diameter fits comfortably under Le Creuset's standard casserole sizes, including the 24cm and 26cm rounds. For very large oval casseroles or roasting tins, the Counter Protector provides a larger footprint.

In our experience...

The Cool Tool is one of the most genuinely multi-use items in the kitchen. Surface protector, anti-slip mat, pot holder, jar opener: most kitchen accessories do one thing. The Cool Tool does four, which is why it tends to live permanently on the worktop rather than in a drawer.

Heat-resistant does not mean heat-proof. The silicone protects surfaces from the heat transferred through a pot or pan base, but it is not a replacement for an oven glove when handling a hot dish directly. Use it to protect the surface beneath, not as a heat barrier between your hand and something very hot.

The non-slip surface is more useful than it initially seems. Placing a heavy pot on a smooth surface and then trying to move it slightly to adjust position is awkward and risky. The grip the Cool Tool provides keeps the pot exactly where you put it.

It works as a jar opener because of how silicone grips. The same material property that makes it non-slip under a pot gives it traction on a lid. It is not a dedicated jar-opener shape, but it works well enough to be genuinely useful for jars that resist opening.

The 20cm diameter fits most standard pot bases. Le Creuset's 24cm and 26cm cast iron casseroles both have bases that sit comfortably on the Cool Tool. For very large pans or roasting tins, a trivet or the Counter Protector is a better fit.

Republic of Ireland & Europe

Currently suspended:

It is not currently possible to deliver to the Republic of Ireland or mainland Europe. We hope to reinstate this service as soon as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Rest of the World

If your country is not listed — including the USA, Australia, and other destinations — this is most likely because couriers charge by volumetric weight: a combination of package size and weight that makes standard online rates impractical to calculate automatically.

Please call us on 01737 222996 with the details of your order. We will advise on shipping costs within 24 hours and ask whether you would like to proceed.

Before you order internationally, please note:

All overseas shipments are at your own risk. We recommend taking out appropriate transit insurance to cover any damage in transit.

Customs forms for all international packages declare the full value and a description of the contents. Any customs or import duties levied on arrival in your country are your responsibility. Your local customs office can provide further information.
