Silicone Hot Pad

A while back I was at the store and saw they had silicone hot pads. They were kind of pricey (especially the glove kind), so I opted for a flat circular one to give it a try. I didn't like it. I could feel the heat from my iron skillet through it and felt like I was in constant danger of scalding my hand. I also felt like the handle was going to slip out of my hand.

So... crap. Waste of money. Or so I thought. Yeah - 'cause I found a new use for it, oh yes I did. I now slap it in the bottom of my sink to use for a drain plug. It is flat and big enough to cover the hole; works like a charm. And I've had such a hard time trying to find a plug that fit just right. Score, eh?
