A coil of elastic material can be wrapped around the handle of a utensil to thereby provide an enhanced grip. An ideal material for this application is a food grade or medical grade silicone rubber because this material is relatively inert both chemically and biologically. Other advantageous properties include a wide range of working temperatures and the availability of a variety of grades, colors, and firmness. Material of different grades can be combined to provide rigidity to the coil shape while also providing a compliant surface. Texturing of the inner and/or outer coil surfaces can also provide for better handholds and for a more positive contact between the grip enhancer and the utensil handle.
