Etymology

The term 'potholder' combines the words 'pot' and 'holder.' The origin of 'pot' can be traced back to Old French 'pot' meaning a cooking vessel, while 'holder' derives from the Old English 'holdan,' meaning to keep or hold. Potholders have been used for centuries, evolving from simple fabric squares to more modern designs that often incorporate insulated materials. Their primary purpose has remained the same: to provide protection from heat when handling hot cookware. As cooking techniques evolved and kitchen safety became a priority, the potholder became a staple in every kitchen, reflecting changes in both materials and habits of cooking.
