My son recently gave me a pair of extreme heat resistant gloves to use when I am baking or cooking in the oven. I immediately loved them for the exact same reason I prefer gloves over mitts in outdoor wear. I have the use of my fingers which means I can get a better grip on ovenware.
Plus, the gloves come far enough up my arm that they prevent burns to my wrists. Previously, that was not a problem. However, when we were forced to purchase a new oven a few years back, I quickly realized the racks inside the oven were set in slightly different places then they were in my old oven. I found that out when I burned my wrist on the center rack, twice, because it sits a little higher. Of course, I know that now, but it is nice to have the added protection provided by these new oven gloves.
He gave me the blue gloves because my favorite color is blue. I also like
the "flowing water" design on the gloves. They are also available in
orange or red, which resemble fire.
The gloves are one size which means the glove fingers are longer than my fingers, but that is okay. It actually offers room for my long finger nails.
The construction of these gloves is impressive! The black fabric is aramid fiber, which is better known as Kevlar, the trademarked name of the same fiber made by Dupont. The blue design is made of silicone and the gloves have a cotton lining on the inside for comfort.
The makers do give the warning that the gloves are made for heat resistance, not flame or hot liquid.
Extreme Heat Resistant Gloves for Cooks
I would recommend these gloves to anyone who cooks. I have used oven mitts my entire life, but I much prefer the freedom of dexterity offered by gloves. I also like the non-slip silicone design that allows me to get a better grip on bakeware.
