need the worlds best oven gloves

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

please can you recommend the best, safest oven gloves that there are. mundane I know! there must be some really really good ones out there though that protect idiots like me.

thank you

I got sick of heating up my hands with rubbish gloves and bought some fab ones from Lakeland,

Will try to find them

heavy duty

here Ugly as hell, but you can pick up anything with these on...lakeland used to sell them

I bought these from Lakeland, although for some reason I can't find them on the Lakeland website. There are different sizes and styles, I've got ones that look like gloves, with fingers etc.

Only problem is, don't use them when wet as they then let the heat through, other than that, they're brilliant!

Snap, blackduck!

cool! ( groan at the pun!) bit worried that the kevlar ones would let hot liquid through (not that I'm paranoid or anything!) I see they do a waterproof one though.

castille - those somehow look reassuring!

Its not so much that they let hot liquid through, because they don't because they are so thick. Its more like if you drop them in the washing up water, and then try using them, like I did

look at these
I am the world's worst at putting gloves on but these are so easy to use because of the shape and they have stopped me branding my wrists as they are good and long.

Had mine for years and years .

the cool skin ones are made of the material F1 drivers wear in case of accidents!! (how's that for a useless bit of info?)

I have these and they are fab. I bought my 85yr old Dad some too as they are much easier to use that mitt shaped ones.

they look snazzy trumpton somwhat pricey, but there again, each one is the cost of the train ticket to the burns unit!

oh excellent Mary aand Blackduck - they are thicker than they look?

looks like the kevlar/coolskins win then if its good enough for Hamilton.....

I think I shall order some.

would dd be able to them? (she says terribly nervously)

be able to use them. doh.

How old is DD? Children can wear them, although it'd be a bit like them wearing gloves that are too big for them.

I used to chase my children round the kitchen with them, a bit like Jim Carey in Liar Liar, with "the claw"

I have an older one called 'the baker's mitt'

it's very good and can be machine washed.

Can't remember where it came from though, was years ago!

she is 10

My DD is 8 and she uses them. I feel much happier with her using them as they stay on so much better than a mitt, plus they don't burn at all if she's taking a while to get something out of the oven.

Lol

'ask the glove geek'

Fliight eek!!!!!

just to check before I hand over my card details - has anyone ordered from that company directly as theyve not got a postal address on their website. (makes me a bit wary)

Kitten, if you open the PDF about the product you fancy, it's got a freephone number to ring.
Looks trade to me, basically.

But might be happy to deal with retail?

Mind you, my glove looks like those and I think it came from either Lakeland, Woolies or (shhh) Wilkinsons.

It was about a fiver. Had it several years anyway.

sorry fliight - being confusing, meant the coolskin ones!
I would have never in a million years spent proper money on oven gloves before, but I never ever want to go through the pain of a proper burn again and I think it will need some real protection for a while.

found some here which come to same price when delivered and from a company with an address.

The ones I have from Amazon are great, honest and no problems with Amazon being dodgy!

excellent and more affordable too! will let you know how I get on with them when I can start cooking again!
