Protect Your Hands From Heat Damage With Oven Mitts
Time to get your cooking on! But first, make sure your hands are protected from scolds and burns with quality oven mitts and potholders. There are plenty of great options with eBay, at affordable prices.
Things to consider when purchasing an oven mitt
The following should be carefully considered when choosing oven mitts and potholders:
- Material: Some materials are more heat resistant than others. Others are more water and stain resistant. (see types)
- Purpose: The number of hours spent cooking all day and the range and where you cook are factors to consider when purchasing an oven mitt.
- Comfort: Oven mitts are meant to provide support. An itchy or easily soiled oven mitt isn’t a great choice if you’re going to wear it often.
Types of Oven Mitts
Oven mitts are made of different forms of materials, including:
- Silicone: Silicone mitts offer the best utility as they are made to withstand incredibly high temperature up to around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It is nonporous and offer great stain and water resistance.
- Cotton: Cotton mitts appear in varying colours and designs and are easy to wash and clean. They offer the lowest amount of heat resistance compared to other types.
- Neoprene: Neoprene mitts are like cotton mitts but have a high resistant range, closer to silicon.
- Aramid: Aramid mitts offer the highest level of heat resistance and strength available and are generally used as commercial oven mitts.
- Lined mitts: Lined mitts come with an interior lining which offers an addition layer of protection and heat resistance.
