Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Insulated Food Gloves, Pair

I can't believe these gloves haven't been reviewed by anyone else yet! I've had mine for a year now and they are absolutely great for handling hot foods. I use them for pulling pork butt or moving hot chicken from the grill (or oven) to the cutting board (and then to hold onto it while carving it). When I can't smoke pork butt outside in the winter, I do pulled pork in my crockpot and with these gloves I can shove my hands right into the scalding liquid of the crockpot to remove the butt and then pull it apart. Another great feature is when you clean them, you just leave them on and wash your hands with soap and water under the faucet. I think they're great!

I do quite a bit of smoking meat and they do well with the heat issue but they are very slippery so handling greasy meat is not easy plus they stain. I throw them in the washing machine but some stains stay on them. I would not think you could use these on high heat grilling jobs but for real BBQ low and slow they work OK.

I just purchased similar gloves from TexasBBQrub and they are black so won't show stains as bad and they are textured so not as slippery and they cost the same as these.

I didn't even know a product like this existed until seeing it on Raichlen's TV show. Before I had this, I would try to get all the meat off a freshly smoked chicken using bare hands, knives, and forks, which was an uncomfortable mess. With the insulated gloves, I can now just shred away and not burn my fingers. The outside of the gloves clean up instantly, too. The only downside is if you get food inside the glove by accident; cleaning that out can be a pain.

These are a great pair of BBQ gloves. I've used them a few times on some things that I've cooked and while they work great I have found couple problems with them. One, they are a little big for my hands. I have medium to large size hands that these gloves are a little big in the fingers. Not usually a problem but it would be nice if they did fit a little better. The other complaint I have is that the material they are made out of is kinda stiff. Again, not a major problem but it would be nice if they were not quite as stiff. If I had to do it all over again I would probably still buy these even with the two minor problems.

These gloves served their purpose where cloth/leather gloves were just not adequate. To put them to the test, I used them with my propane grill rotisserie. I could hold the hot metal shaft, unscrew the prongs holding the meat, and then slide the meat off onto a platter, neatly. The glove wasn't affected, and they are easy to clean. I'd give it five stars-but they are just a bit bulky-one size fits all; that and I'd expect them to keep my beer cold to earn five stars.
