I hoard tea towels.. is it normal to also hoard oven gloves? I see so many pretty designs on them I can’t seem to help myself from buying them

Zero. Hate the things and always use a tea towel.

Greebosmum · 15/11/2023 04:52

One. Why would I need more?

Show me some pretty china though and I am sunk. 🤣

MidnightOnceMore · 15/11/2023 04:55

How many do you have?

HappyValleyFan1 · 15/11/2023 05:23

We have 3

Guavafish1 · 15/11/2023 05:25

2

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 15/11/2023 05:25

3 I think.

MyCircumference · 15/11/2023 05:26

i have two,, one i inherited from ds who didnt want it back.

JaninaDuszejko · 15/11/2023 05:27

We have one but I could do with a second to use when it's being washed.

Giggorata · 15/11/2023 05:28

About three, I think.
Mine get covered in food spills and there's always one soaking in bio, otherwise they'd be rank.

TheProvincialLady · 15/11/2023 05:28

None. I gave up with them years ago after many burns. Tea towels are better.

Pipistrellus · 15/11/2023 05:34

One, two joined together? Is this a trick question?

OzziePopPop · 15/11/2023 06:01

No joined together ones but two silicone type glove ones, one for each hand?

OzziePopPop · 15/11/2023 06:02

DH does usually use a tea towel though!

SiobahnRoy · 15/11/2023 06:04

Lulu1919 · 15/11/2023 06:50

None
Only ever use area towel

JamMakingWannaBe · 15/11/2023 06:55

None. Burnt myself too many times using that style. I have one pair of single mitts.

bellac11 · 15/11/2023 06:55

I have never found them to work, always get burnt so use a tea towel. I dont really understand it to be honest because oven gloves look thick and protective, but tea towels are thin, yet a towel means I dont feel any heat and the gloves mean I get burnt

Weird.

EversoDisorganised · 15/11/2023 06:58

One, we use a towel when it's in the wash.

AnotherCountryMummy · 15/11/2023 07:00

No joined up ones but three single glove ones. We did just have a pair then DD bought us a random single one 🥰

megletthesecond · 15/11/2023 07:00

1 pair. Le Creuset Hogwarts oven gloves. A much wanted gift.

yikesanotherbooboo · 15/11/2023 07:45

No joined up ones , 2 silicone gauntlets and a pair of disintegrating cloth mitts that need to be thrown away.

TeenDivided · 15/11/2023 07:47

I have unusually, 2.

One old pair from 2012 that needs to be thrown out, and a newer pair that are out but too nice to use. Usually only 1 pair.

henrysugar12 · 15/11/2023 08:05

None. I use a tea towel. Feels safer to me.

Riverlee · 15/11/2023 08:06

One, with silicone mitts.

I’ve burnt myself using tea towels.

AlltheFs · 15/11/2023 08:07

One
