Safe control over a hot lid

A lid lifter is an essential tool for anyone cooking with a cast-iron Dutch oven over coals or a fire. Cast iron gets extremely hot and heavy, and a lid lifter lets you raise, rotate and move the lid without burning yourself or tipping ash into the meal below.

Why you want one

When you cook Dutch oven style, coals often sit on top of the lid for even, all-round heat. Being able to lift or turn that lid cleanly means you can check food, rotate for even cooking and move the pot from fire to table with control.

Part of a proper camp kitchen

If you own a camp Dutch oven, a lid lifter belongs alongside it. It is one of those simple tools that makes open-fire cooking safer and far less fiddly.
