My review for the “Grifiti Band Joes X Cross Style 9 inch 5 Pack Assorted Colors Long Lasting Cooking Grade Hot Cold UV Resistant Silicone Rubber Bands for Boxes, Board Games, Croak Pots, Laptops”They may not know how to spell "Crock Pot" but they know how to make these straps strong.I was looking for a Lid Strap for my new 4 Quart Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker. 1st, Hamilton Beach does not make a lid strap for a 4 Quart that I could find, 2nd the reviews for the 5 – 8 quart lid straps were terrible. I thought maybe I could use it.So off I went on a quest for my lid strap and happened upon these. They had excellent reviews even for a lid strap on a 7 quart. They used 2 straps but I don’t think I will need 2. 1 seems strong enough and I can crisscross them to make it even tighter and stronger. (See pictures)I haven’t cooked anything yet but have been trying different ways of attaching the strap to see which is stronger, tighter etc. I want to be able to take Chili to work and don’t want any messes. I also bought the carrier to make it, well, easier to carry… Will have to do a review on it later.These straps come in different sizes for different needs. Hope this helps anyone looking for lid straps for slow cookers. Or strong straps for other things.

These are very stretchy and fit a variety of sizes of pots and pans. I always needed something like this since I store my cooking pots in a cupboard above my head, and always worried about dropping the lids.

Use for first time yesterday making cheesecake in my Instant Pot. Worked very well. Since using largest pan possible, this allowed me to remove without damaging the cheesecake. I can see that these will be handy for many other uses, and will follow up as I discover them. I would recommend these.

Got these for my husband for Christmas. Thought we could use them for things like board games, books, or other random stuff that's awkwardly shaped. This is the first time we're putting them to use. I tried them on stacks of textbooks and they work perfectly!!! I think we need to get more in different sizes now.

Since they’re brand new, I’m not able to say how long they’ll last. If they’ll dry out. However I have used them to hold first drafts of manuscripts. And the most I’ve had them hold so far has been around 500 pages.

The first time using one of these it broke and I barely stretched it. The others seem to be ok. Works for my needs with my instant pot.

i bought all sizes of these that were listed. I use them to do any number of things. the first thing I did was put one on my small kindle keyboard cover because the elastic band was way past done. I just carefully put a couple small dots of super glue on the back of the cover and stuck one of the small bands on. it works great and keeps my screen and keyboard protected in my purse. I did the same for the cover for my large kindle keyboard. very happy with how they work and I saved the cost of new covers and possible damage. my daughter in law has absconded with a couple of each for projects of her own. well worth the price.

Wasn't sure what size I'd need for my 750mL pot (measuring now shows about 11cm tall, 10cm wide), should have gone for the 6in size. The band itself is good quality though.

I bought them to keep my board game lids on when transporting them, and they work perfectly.For average game sizes (monopoly, ticket to ride, elder sign) the 9" are perfect. For the bigger games (DOOM, Mansions of Madness 2E) I'm going to get some 12" ones. The 9" fit, but I think might be too tight.

product as described, came on time and in good condition

Love these...use them on almost anything! over your ipad case, over a book, over my cookpot and lid when hiking!

can't live without these brilliant in office
