Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Primus Pot Gripper requires no setup. Simply open the gripper by squeezing the handles, position it around the rim of your hot pot or pan, and release the handles to secure the grip. Ensure a firm hold before lifting.
Compatibility: While designed with Primus pans in mind, this gripper is engineered to work with "almost any pot." The clamping mechanism relies on gripping the rim of the cookware. It is particularly effective with pots and pans that have a suitable rim for the gripper to latch onto. Test on your specific cookware if unsure.
Care: After use, allow the gripper to cool completely. Clean any food residue with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminum or rubber inserts. Store in a dry place. The rubber inserts provide coating protection, but always ensure the gripper is clean to avoid transferring grit.
