Hot pot Tongs VS Lid Lifter

[Scoutfish]

So I have been playing with my DO quite a bit lately. And somehow, I am going to do a short bit/ demo on DO cooking at our next pack campout.

 

But you know what..... I don't have anything to lift the lid. So far I have ben using the tip of a shovel, a thicker stick or even the handle of s spatula.

 

I have decided that I can'y put it off any longer: I am going to have to buy a lifting d4evice for my lid.

 

 

Now, I'm thinking I want to buy the lifter handle with the hook and two side sytabilizers over the hot pot tongs, I mean, I could eaily just use a pair of vice grips as the tongs.

 

But I think I might have better lid control with the lid lifter..meaning I have better control over it not flipping and "peppering " my food.

 

So what has your experiences taught you?

 

Which do you prefer?

 

Do you use something else entirely?

Welding gloves do just fine for most things "hot to handle"
