Orka 17-Inch Silicone Barbecue Mitt, Red

The best mitt you can buy(bought two). My wife had gotten really burnt by boiling water. She wanted these so that would never happen again. They are incredible since even though they feel like rubber they don't let the heat reach your fingers! You would think the heat could penetrate the mitt but no!

Great mitt, only complaint I would have is that they are a bit difficult to clean, not so easy to stick in dishwasher without getting them filled with some water, but this is a minor, minor, minor issue, as they are relatively easy to hand wash. Not very flexible when it comes to manipulation of fine objects, but great for lifting grates, using tools, and grabbing some meats. Overall, a great mitt.

After a nasty burn using regular oven mitts, my wife purchased these. They extend almost to her elbow, so hopefully burns are a thing of the past.

I bought a set when a good friend burned herself in my kitchen using a wet oven mitt on a hot pan. I thought they'd be the perfect solution.

What I discovered is that they make it hard to grip things. Most people I cooked with couldn't stand them, and I just barely tolerated them.

Unless you are going to be submerging your hand in hot water (which I don't recommend regardless of the glove, it can easily spill in over the top), go for a glove that combines the flexibility of a cloth glove with silicon covering the parts that grip. The all silicon construction doesn't bend with your hand easily, and so makes it hard to hold on to things.

I hate this mitt. I used it to process some chickens. I need to dunk the chickens into 150 degree water for about a minute and a half. I couldn't sand to do this because the heat built up and became unbearable. I don't know of any other options, but this didn't work for my application.
