Oven Mitts

Post #1 - January 28th, 2019, 7:09 pmMany years ago I had some awesome oven mitts that I received as a gift. They were from Pampered Chef. A natural, off white color cotton and seemed to be lined with a heat related material. After many years and lots of washes, they finally died. I may have even gotten a second pair.
Since then I've had a few quilted cotton pairs (Williams-Sonoma and Sur La Table), but they are not insulating enough. Have had a few different pairs of silicone mitts, but I don't have the control of a fabric mitt. We roast vegetables a lot in very hot, large, heavy cast iron pans and remove the pans several times to stir. I wind up almost getting burned or not feeling like I have a good grip.
Has anyone found any mitts they are happy with? My wife just returned a pair to Sur La Table that were melting in spots.

Post #3 - January 28th, 2019, 7:46 pmWe have a version of these, OXO brand that are thick insulated fabric with silicone grip detailing - sturdy and good, without the slippery problem of the total silicone mitt you mention. I think Kitchen Aid also makes a comparable one I've seen at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Post #4 - January 28th, 2019, 8:48 pmI don't know the science behind it, but the oven mitts I have that have a terry cloth exterior last a very long time and are always great for handling hot dishes -- EXCEPT when they get wet and transmit the heat right to your hands."Your swimming suit matches your eyes, you hold your nose before diving, loving you has made me bananas!"

Post #5 - January 28th, 2019, 9:08 pmHi,
I bought new oven mitts last year. They shrank on the first outing. I still use them, but I line dry them all now.
Did you ever look on e-Bay to see if someone is selling what you once liked?
Regards,

Post #7 - January 30th, 2019, 4:04 pmA couple years ago I purchased a pair of HellFire BBQ & Ove Gloves from Amazon for $20.00. I just checked Amazon and they want $60.00. While they are large I use them almost daily to pull a 8 qt cast iron dutch oven for baking bread, they have never failed me and have become my every day hot pad.
Amazon has other varieties similar to this but I have no experience with them. At current price would probably risk it an try a similar item.
