Oven Gloves that aren't so thick you can't actually grasp anything.

For years our oven gloves of choice were these

Although not in teal but in black (I have noticed that one of the few reviews say they are too thick so maybe even they changed since we bought our last two pairs).

Now they seem to have been discontinued and we haven't been able to find anything like them. All the ones we have tried both cheap and less cheap are too thick. Eventually I bought some really cheap ones from The Range and washed them over and over again, every time I put a wash on but we still find them too thick to grasp smaller items safely.

If anybody can recommend oven gloves that have just a wee bit more flexibility about them we would be very grateful.

Same here. I constantly risk dishes slipping from my grasp when I get them out of the oven because the gloves are too damn thick.

I use oven gloves that are heat resistant gloves from Amazon
I can’t use mitts and tea towels are hopeless

I've never been able to manage oven gloves, they're downright dangerous on my hands. Tea towels (2 for v hot things) work fine.
