Please recommend water proof over mittens

[gaussian]

My oven mittens, which still look just fine, are a health hazard. When they get at all wet and I then take something out of the oven my hands get burned. I tried to look up oven mitts that wouldn't do that but I really need a recommendation.

The real problem is when I am making pizza for the family, I need to put one pizza in the oven at a time and because I am adding toppings (they are home made pizzas) I want to wash my hands as well. But then my hands are sometimes still a bit wet and I get burned.

I am confused as to why yours are getting so wet? Mine don’t unless I spill something on them which is rare.

My hands are wet when I wash them after each pizza is made. As I am putting in 4 pizzas one after another in a hurry, sometimes I don't dry them thoroughly.

I've not heard of waterproof oven gloves. I think they would melt?

Mine get wet sometimes as I'm a messy cook so I know what you mean re getting burned. I just get out the spare pair as I have one out and one in the wash.

I have similar to these and never had any problems

I have some silicon ones that I bought in Tesco a couple of years ago. Would they work?

Silicon ones are game changers!

When your hands are wet this is conducting the heat which is why you get burned. You have two options- dry your hands properly or make all the pizzas and then put them in the oven rather than making and washing your hands 4 times.

Thanks so much. I have gone silicone!

@tealandteal Sadly my oven can't fit 4 pizzas at the same time

And actually I also don't have the counter top space for 4 pizzas either!

Use tongs for the toppings?!

TheFlis12345 It involves things like breaking mozarella balls into bits and putting on anchovies. Not tong friendly sadly.
