My current favorites are my Anti-Steam Ove Gloves: they&#8217;re not very decorative, but boy, are they useful! <\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re constructed like a sandwich: an outer layer of knitted Nomex and Kevlar \u2014 just like firefighter suits \u2014 with red silicone strips on the palm-side to enhance your grip, a middle layer of latex to protect you from steam burns, and an inner layer of soft cotton next to your skin. They&#8217;re very comfortable and flexible, allowing dexterous handling of hot pans. They&#8217;re sized generously, so will fit most hands; they&#8217;re a little large on my medium-sized hand, but still offer superior dexterity compared to most other oven mitts. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using mine for 4 years, and they&#8217;re holding up well. They&#8217;re machine washable&#8230;but don&#8217;t put them in the dryer, or the latex layer will disintegrate; just drip-dry them. <\/p>\n<p>Note that they are sold as SINGLE GLOVES, not as a pair, so be sure you&#8217;re ordering the correct glove (the link given is for a right-handed glove). I originally bought one for just my dominant hand, but eventually got the other hand a glove of its own; it&#8217;s just more convenient (and safer) to have both hands protected. They have a little hanging loop; I hang them on a magnetic hook on my oven door, so they&#8217;re handy when I need them. If you are handling *really* hot items (over 540 degrees F), you might consider the Thermobest gloves or the welding gloves reviewed elsewhere on this site, but for the temperatures more commonly encountered in a kitchen, these are great!<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triple layer heat, flame &#038; steam protection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28337"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28339,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28337\/revisions\/28339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
