Is it a real leather?
Our BTLUX pot holders are made with full grain leather, which means its 100% natural leather that will get better and better over time.
Why does it feel so stiff?
We try not to use too soft leather, while the nature of leather is to get soften over time. At first your handle sleeve might be too stiff but it will get softer over couple of use.
Can I use leave btlux leather handle covers on the skillet while cooking?
DO NOT use handle in open flames. DO NOT leave handle on while it is heating or is on the oven!
