Le Creuset silicone Cool Tool

I bought a couple of these 8-inch silicone Cool Tools a few years ago from the Le Creuset outlet store near the Cabazon Dinosaur attraction in California.

They are designed to work as a combination surface protector, potholder, anti-skid mat, and jar opener. They do a good job doing all these things (but I have become a convert to the Jarkey jar opener, which is an essential kitchen tool).
