 One more gadget but worth it.Jan 26, 2006
By JimQPublic
They could give away dutch ovens if everyone would promise to buy all the accessories. At first I made do with a hooked piece of wire but after dropping ashes in the pot and almost burning myself a few times I got the lid lifter. It's actually quite useful.
You can leave it on the lid and it stays in place. The handle is long enough that the heat doesn't seem to travel up and make it too hot to hold. The "wings" adjacent to the hook brace on the lid so when you pick the lid up it doesn't wobble or tilt (which is when the ashes would drop on your food!).
The hook also works well to grab the scalding hot bail of the Dutch Oven to carry or reposition the whole oven. For even cooking the standard practice is to rotate the oven one way and the lid the other way every once in a while- that way any hot spots from the coals will spread around. This tool lets you safely do both. Also you don't really have to lift the lid to rotate it- which would let heat out.

Don't buy a Dutch Oven without oneJun 29, 2006
By Melissa Frederick

I made the big mistake of getting a Dutch Oven and not ordering this at the same time. Pliers don't work, gloves don't work, a fireplace poker doesn't work. The lid lifter makes removing the lid to check on your food a simple, stable and ash-free process. Don't make the same mistake I did. When you buy your Dutch Oven, buy the lid lifter.

 Poor design considering alternatives for the same priceOct 05, 2008
By JK
These one-piece lid lifters are prone to dumping ash in the food. They're better than nothing, but don't grip the lid tighly.
They don't grip the lid firmly like the good lifters (with the three legs and the hook operated by gripping the handle). The good lid lifters retail for about the same price as this lifter. There's no reason to buy this design. They will will put a huge smile on your face the first time you discover you don't have to do any kind of balancing act.
I've been looking on Amazon, but for some odd reason it looks like they don't carry the good lid lifters, which are available at any outdoors store that carries dutch ovens. Please Amazon, offer the three-leg+hook lifters, sometimes called "deluxe" lifters!

Handy toolDec 01, 2005
By microjoe
This lid lifter can be used to safely pick up the lid of your dutch oven when hot. It has a counter balance tip that holds the lid securely so it does not slip. Also the tip can be used to pick up your dutch oven by the bail handle to move it, or to move other items.

 works fine for what it isJan 25, 2011
By Gerooge
As far as this sort of lid lifter goes this is the best one I've found. The lateral arms angle slightly back, which gives it a little better stability than a straight arm, and the cross bar under the handle is great for getting a better grip when lifting a heavy oven on the hook. It beats a claw hammer or channel lock pliers by a long shot. And if you have a large diameter pot, it stores nicely inside so you won't accidentally leave it behind.
But for pretty much the same price you can get the original, top-notch Mair Dutch Oven Lid Lifter--the neatest thing since the last neat thing since sliced bread--which many suppliers carry, or the knock-off version produced by Camp Chef which works about as well (I like the handle on the Mair better, but your preference may be different). Both give three point stance security that lets you not only lift the lid but grip it and firmly control it at any angle. Unless you are just chronically clumsy, you'll never have the lid slip, unbalance or get ash in your food again. Once you've tried the Mair (or Camp Chef), you won't want to bother with this sort of hook & bar lifter, except maybe to show friends by comparison how much better the Mair is.
