A good set of protective heat-resistant oven mitts are ideal for serving, baking, cooking, or handling hot plates. Most good quality mitts are made to last you a while and can keep your hands safe from heat related accidents in the kitchen.
However, while choosing one, make sure the fabric is soft, heat-resistant as it claims, and fits your hand properly. Traditional oven mitts are often too large, bulky, and have too much room inside. They cover the hand essentially and only a tiny section of the arm. Modern-day fabric gloves however can cover your wrist and sometimes a little more than that. Plus they are available in a lot more styles and sizes. Here’s a list to get you started.
