KitchenCraft Extra-Thick Heavy-Duty Cotton Double Oven Gloves, 80 x 17 cm (31.5" x 6.5"), Cream

I was looking for top quality oven gloves, but got fed up after reading the reviews. So just to make an order up for free delivery I purchased these for £6.00.They turned out far better than our old expensive type.They are cotton. An off white cotton which will get dirty quick. The heat part is quite thick and protects enough from heat. They arent fireproof, but I dont intend using them on the barby.For £6.00 you cant go wrong and are certainly as good as other expensive types.UPDATE:12 months later and still great. A great buy for now £5.00.UPDATE:21 Months later and just purchased a second pair of these, but only to make another order up for minimum free delivery. The first pair are still in daily use and going strong with no signs of real wear. One of the best £5.00-£6.00's you will ever spend.

My husband always prefers padded, brightly coloured mitt things, but I've stubbornly stood by my old fashioned double oven gloves for years, and have got through many pairs. As my old ones disintegrated, I bought these - and they're pretty darned good. My only concern is that the double layer insulation is only on one side, as my previous pairs were all round, but I'm just a bit more careful about sliding my hands in the right way now.For the price, £6, they're an absolute bargain - you just don't feel any heat at all. The tightly woven cotton knit is sooo much better than just polycotton coated padding, and these are strong too.You will notice, as you use them more and more, they do tend to collect grease and fat which isn't so easy to clean off. I tend to bung mine in a very strong, very hot solution of washing powder once a month and let them sit overnight, then wash them as usual the next day, which seems to work.But I love them and these will last years and years - who cares if they're not pretty?!

+ : Reliable good quality waffle weave so good heat resistance, good length for getting larger/wider items out of the oven, well hemmed and finished around the edges so will keep shape over time.- : 1. too big for my hands, and I'm a medium 7 1/2. My hands are all over the place inside the very generous glove pocket part, which means grasping an item through the glove is difficult. 2. The glove pockets are on one side only, not both sides. I prefer double sided, because if the glove twists on picking up, you can easily find a glove pocket at the other end. Double sided is also safer if you have anyone absent-minded or a new, inexperienced cook in the house (I'm thinking teenage and older children).=>Overall: Good quality. But only for large, even extra large, hands, and ok if you don't want double sided for extra safety.

I bought a set like this years ago but when they finally fell apart I got some silicone gloves. Unfortunately, I couldn't use those so searched for something like I'd had before and was quite pleased to find these. They have lived up to expectations. Thick, easy to use, easy to wash. Hopefully they'll last years, like my old ones did.

After using this twice and washing as per instructions I was sad to see the disintegration of one of the hand pockets for the oven glove.My last oven glove bought over a year ago is still going strong from another seller to which I will now hastily return.If I could give this item half a star that would be pushing it absolute waste of money.I would like a response from the seller and a refund due to this not fit for any purpose other than the bin.

So pleased to find these gloves, most shops nowadays sell the thin cotton 'pretty' gloves, which offer no protection at all. These are large in size, but not too large. I find you need to be able to slip a glove on and off easily, not struggle. Plus cover for wrists. The thick cotton is marvellous when handling hot items in and out of the oven. Price was great too, another reason not to buy the 'pretty' ones who charge the earth for a pattern! I highly recommend these.

Great value I soaked them in weak solution of my normal washing powder before washing on a 40c and they were as good as new and I do a lot of cooking. Nice and thick do a great job! Would recommend

A nice plain oven glove, easy to launder which after three months use appears to be very durable, despite washing quite a lot.In terms of providing protection from hot pans, the insulation properties are good as is the protection offered to the back of hands and wrists.Overall a noce and durable product which represents good value.
