Our BBQ’ing season is pretty much over, November here in the
Midwest, but what appealed to me about these gloves is the fact that they are
heat resistant. Who doesn’t have that
pair of oven mitts that has the hole in the fingertip that invariably burns
your finger when you touch the hot pan?
But you never throw the darn thing away because you never think to go
buy a new one. So the night we tried
out the gloves we had made Cornish game hens.
Since there were a pair of the gloves it was very easy to remove the pan
from the oven and to remove the foil from roasting pan. No heat was felt through the gloves and
because the gloves have texture the pan was very easy to hold. The gloves though I think are a bit bulky and
make grasping things like tongs and things that require dexterity a little more
difficult. The gloves being made of silicone
are easy to clean with warm soapy water.
There is even a hole in the hand area for hanging your gloves up out of
the way when not in use. The gloves do
reach past my wrist probably mid-way to my elbow so even for use on the grill
these gloves will make a nice addition to my cooking ensemble.
Side note here I made loaded baked potatoes the other night
and these gloves were perfect for taking the pan out of the oven, holding the
potato while slicing it open, and then pulling it out of the broiler after the
cheese was melted. My hand was totally
shielded from the heat. Due to my
disability I was always burning my hand or fingers on the oven and now I don’t
have to worry about that. Whoever
invented these things is a genius.
If you would like to purchase your own silcone gloves you may do so on Amazon here.
