Protect from heat or cold (8)

I believe the answer is:

insulate

(Other definitions for insulate that I've seen before include "Cover or protect with a utensil (8)" , "Cocoon" , "Cover something to prevent loss of heat" , "Cover with material to prevent loss of heat" , "A utensil (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
