Yes, a pizza pan gripper can be used to remove hot pizza pans from the microwave. But you can also use it multi-purposely if you want. First, you have to know about its shape and which type of shape it can carry. If your bowls or pots are easily adjustable with the griper, then you can surely use them. But keep remembering that your safety is essential. So don’t use the grippers for any specific pans or pots if you feel it’s not adjusting with the grips.
