Rubber oven gloves....anyone use them

Have used them for a while now and find them very effective and easy to clean .

I only used them once in a very posh Restaurant when doing agency work.
They were great unless they had even a tiny hole or cut in them, then they were awful. The heat came straight through and it felt as though they were melting onto my hands.
The following day I took my own oven gloves to work.

I use a joined together silicone oven glove, and single ones are also available. Loads on Ebay. They are a bit cumbersome and slippery if you get oil on them but they absolutely don't let the heat through. I wouldn't use any other type.

I didn't get on with them at all. I buy mine from Lakeland - they are made of that really thick stuff (???) and brilli!ant.

They are called Jolly Molly in our house

I've got tea towels that I keep specially for taking things out of the oven. I have had several different styles of oven gloves/mitts, but I can't get away with them.

My dh uses our nice tea towels fir getting things out of the oven despite me pointing out we have 3 lots of oven gloves which work perfectly well and if they stain I don’t mind, but I do mind my tea towels being spoiled,

I did forget to wash my Jolly Mollies and then one DGS said 'Yuck, Ma, that's revolting!' so I'm slightly obsessive about it now.

I bought a pair of the silicone joined together ones, if I do use them I don't put my hands in side I just sort of wrap them over the edge of the dish IYSWIM as I find them too bulky. I saw some today in a booklet that are a proper pair of gloves rather than mits. They seem to be a combination of the material kitty mentioned and silicone pads I might order a pair as they look less cumbersome.
I usually just grab a T-towel though.

I have some Coolskin Oven Gloves from Lakeland, which have a long arm.
Not cheap to buy but my goodness, they are absolutely brilliant.
No burns with them, ever.

I have those dark blue and white striped ones, 2 joined together. But they do get a bit yucky (as Kitty says.)

ok thanks all..think I will risk some of the Rubber ones

I got mine from QVC. Choice of wither the gauntlet ones or the joined together ones. Wash well, excellent heat barriers and they last years and years. About £15 A pair, I think.

Mine are from QVC too - work very well but not joined together.

I got my son a pair of these. He says they are absolutely great. I have been using a pair of similar ones for some years and they have never let me down. I never fancied the idea of the silicone ones.

Got my silicone ones from Lakeland and they are good heat barriers but a bit inflexible sometimes. I like the fact they can go in the dishwasher if grubby . Do use a tea towel sometimes if the dish is small.?

You can see some reviews of the heat resistant gloves here: welcoming-house.com/best-oven-gloves/ Believe me, it's best to onest into rubber ones. But they also shouldn't be cheap because, as a person above said, tiny holes will create a steam effect that will burn you. So you should only buy quality ones with thick rubber.

I just put so many folds in a teatowel and it's fine. Wearing gloves for me would be a hindrance and a nuisance, job's done just as quick with a teatowel and I've never been burned yet !

I use this kinds mitts and fine with them. No way the heat will come through them. I guess, gloves are even more comfortable and effective.

I rather fancy these

They come in a range of colours, but I'm using green for a bit of colour in the "new" kitchen!

I have a pair of the silicon oven gloves, joined together, from M&S and they are brilliant. Just put them through the wash and they have come out like new.

I use thick cotton wadded pot holders in preference to oven gloves. I have tried the silicone ones, but they are too thin for handling anything that has been in the oven.

I use rubber gloves but some fit some won't but I struggle to get them off.

Kaggi60 do you mean the sort of rubber gloves used when washing up?

Don't think they would be much use for getting things out of the oven!
