Even more perfect, if that is possible. My pair is several years old and I love them.Recently, my grand-nephew married and I wanted to get a pairfor his new bride. I finally found a manufacturer's name onmy pair, looked it up on a search engine and ordered a pair.They are even better than mine as the cuffs go a couple inchesfurther up the wrist.
Ill stick with the old fashoned type.These are OK for a quick grab but transfer heat otherwise
they're different to get used to since they're not cloth but they're waterproof for spills. great deal because u get two.
Those tougher folks out there with already-callused hands may find these useable (they do look nice afterall) but I'm trying to figure out what to do with these to salvage the gift. I asked several other people in the household to test them out, just to make sure I wasn't being hyper-sensitive, and they each reported the same thing. I received these for Christmas and loved the look. However, when I went to use them to grab a pan from the oven (nothing crazy hot - 350 degrees) the mitts got *HOT* within about 2 seconds (no exaggeration here).
I would say for most general cases of taking things in and out of the oven and placing them somewhere, they are perfect. However, if you're carrying around a pot for a long time (not just holding it steady, actually carrying weight with full mitt-to-hot surface contact for more than one minute) you can start to feel the heat. Another plus.
My first impression of these mitts was that they are much easier to use than regular oven mitts -- you feel like you have much more control with your hands. Works perfectly. I purchased these mitts because I was pleased with my Silicone hot pad and wanted to try out silicone mitts.
Dishwasher safe. Definitely worth a try if you're looking to switch to silicone. These particular mitts have little grip "bumps" all over both sides of each mitt which make handling hot pots and pans even easier.
We even use the mitt as a grip to open jars.
