Ceramic pastes with high R values

[ufarad]

I have these little metal rings used for holding eggs in while you fry them to keep them from running all over the place. These metal rings have stainless steel loop handles that stick up which get so hot as to be untouchable with unprotected fingers. I want to coat the top part of those stainless steel loop handles with some kind of material that is very resistant to changes in temperature. What commercially available product would fit the bill here?

Even if you coat those, I predict they'll still be too hot to touch. I'd try to find some kind of long pliers. Or perhaps replace the ss loop handles with another material.
