Winco Premium Aluminum Pizza Pan Gripper

If you use pizza pans or screens, a pan gripper is a small investment that makes handling hot pans dramatically safer and easier. Instead of fumbling with oven mitts or towels, the gripper clamps onto the pan edge and gives you a secure, one-handed grip to slide pans in and out of the oven.

This Winco model is the same kind you'll find in commercial pizza kitchens. It's built to last, the grip is firm, and it works with any standard round pan or screen. At around $11, it's the cheapest item on this list but one of the most practical.
