I've been using your usual fabric oven gloves for years, and getting frustrated with burning my fingers and never getting them clean enough. So when I saw these silicone oven mitts I just had to try a pair. I found a pretty cheap pair on Amazon and ordered them straight away . I was very impressed with how quickly they arrived - it was so quick it felt as though they had been personally delivered to my home!
First Impressions
I must admit that I was a bit dubious after I'd ordered them. What if they arrived and they were too small? Or they were awkward to use?
I loved the box. It was nice and neat, and better than those flimsy plastic packages! I was really pleased that they had a 5 finger design; it can get a bit annoying trying to cook with mittens on!

Gloves in Use
Despite my earlier worries, I was happy to find that they fit my hands nearly perfectly. They're so easy to use, I can pick eggs out of a saucepan, grip spoons and tongs, or even grab some of those awkward boil in the bag rice packets. They were slightly bulk, but still better than normal mitts, and I definitely prefer using these.
I'm really impressed with these gloves. Not only do they fit really well, they're easy to use and they really are easy to clean. I put mine in with my washing up, and the dirt practically falls off!
The heat resistance is brilliant - I could get the food out of the oven and hold the boiling hot dish for a few minutes. Much longer than with my battered old oven mitts!

I had my very helpful partner pose for a video, but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work on here. Once I figure it out, you'll be able to see it - he's just as impressed as I am! I can safely say I won't be using anything but these from now on.
