Oven Gloves

[pipTheGeek]

Our current oven gloves are awful. You can only hold things for a few seconds before getting burnt. Can anyone recommend some decent oven gloves, don't really care what style, just as long as they work.

Actually, i think that is the best idea.

I have a pair of Le Creuset oven gloves and they are too thick and unweildy. So I just use a tea towel.

You could get a few pairs of Kevlar gloves from a hardware store or industrial supplier, they are great for sheilding heat

We use them at work when dealing with hot surfaces.

How hot are the surfaces you use them on?

JML do some oven gloves that are actual gloves. They seems to work well up to about 10 seconds, which is usually long enough.

I got some silicone ones from The Professional Cookware shop on Sat & they're ace. Better than my old Wool ones (that's wool oven gloves).

I've seen these. Kevlar glozes do the same job (JML advertise them as being made from "aramid", that is just a classification of material, it's like saying a knife is "metal" instead of steel) as industrial kevlar gloves but several times the price.

We've used kevlar gloves as the heat barier, with industrial marigolds over the top when dealing with hot epoxy resins for prolonged periods of time at about 100degC. Your hand sweat about and it's pretty warm, but never hot.

Yeah, those silicone rubbery ones are brilliant

Great for getting heavy cast iron cookware out of the oven

I really should check the forums more often, these are the Silicone ones that I use:
Kitchen Craft Masterclass Gauntlet Style Oven Glove / Mitt

Can't fault them, well, apart from they are sold individually instead of as a pair.

Order from an industrial supplier and you can get them for a third of that price or less.

QFT

Just get a tea towel and you can fold/roll the towel to different thicknesses depending on how hot the item is and also what it's in

[Zak33]

tea towels are no use.. they don't stretch wide enough to grab both sides of a wide over dish unless you use a bath towel

Not my doing - they were a gift from an 80+ year old grandparent...
