I've always liked the Christmassy oven gloves pictured above. They are so cheery and you are almost waiting impatiently for the dish to be cooked and ready to be safely taken out of the oven to use them. The last pair I bought were green and have provided faithful service in the kitchen. Have you got a favourite pair you use? Are they Christmassy? At this time of year they are essential for safely removing all the delicious food you may be preparing and cooking. Read on for a little more about these important kitchen accessories.

Wearing oven gloves can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Protection from burns: Oven gloves can protect your hands from burns and injuries when handling hot cookware, dishes, and oven racks.
- Improved grip: Oven gloves can provide a secure grip on hot cookware and dishes, reducing the risk of accidents and spills.
- Comfort: Oven gloves can provide comfort and protection when handling hot cookware and dishes, allowing you to cook and bake with confidence.
- Hygiene: Oven gloves can prevent the transfer of bacteria and other microorganisms from your hands to food and cookware.
When choosing oven gloves, consider the following factors:
- Material: Look for oven gloves made from heat-resistant materials, such as silicone, cotton, or a combination of both.
- Thickness: Choose oven gloves that are thick enough to provide adequate protection but not so thick that they compromise dexterity.
- Size: Choose oven gloves that fit comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion.
- Style: Consider the style of oven gloves that suits your needs, such as mitts, gloves, or sleeves.
There are several types of oven gloves available, including:
- Mitts: These are the most common type of oven glove, providing protection for the palm and fingers.
- Gloves: These provide protection for the entire hand, including the fingers and wrist.
- Sleeves: These provide protection for the forearm and wrist, ideal for handling large or heavy cookware.
In addition to choosing the right oven gloves, here are some additional tips for using them safely and effectively:
- Always wear oven gloves when handling hot cookware or dishes: This may seem obvious, but it’s essential to wear oven gloves every time you handle hot cookware or dishes.
- Choose the right size: Make sure the oven gloves fit comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion.
- Use oven gloves in conjunction with other safety precautions: Oven gloves are just one part of a comprehensive safety plan. Always use other safety precautions, such as a thermometer and a timer, when cooking and baking.
- Replace oven gloves regularly: Oven gloves can wear out over time, losing their heat-resistant properties. Replace them regularly to ensure continued protection.

ReplyDeleteMy oven gloves are navy blue and white stripes.
ReplyDeleteI like the ones in your picture.

ReplyDeleteJ.P.Alexander ...
Thanks for the tips. I have gel gloves that are very useful to me. I send you a kiss
Mine depend upon the season. Right now they are Christmas mitts.
ReplyDeleteOur oven gloves are boring. And I will confess to using a tea towel if I am in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI have silicone gloves -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI have pot holders. Some are lined terry cloth and some are quilted ones that a friend made me years ago. All are still in good shape. No Christmassy ones, unless you count that my terry ones are dark green. Does that count??? LOL
ReplyDeleteI prefer pot holders which are padded squares.
ReplyDeleteI've always used pot holders and by now I'm so used to them that I might find oven mitts awkward. I do have pot holders for all occasions and seasons though.
ReplyDeleteNice read, Jan. I use two oven clothes.
ReplyDeleteI have a few pairs of oven gloves...they work fine.
ReplyDeleteI do definitely use gloves. I've been burned so I'm very careful.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan, Although I do have oven gloves I rarely use them. I find them stiff and awkward to use. A couple of good potholders is what I use. I don't have any Christmassy ones - just blue with lemons on them.
ReplyDeleteMine are looking a bit worse for wear. Maybe I should have put them on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteI usually use the square hot pad sort that have a good insulation. I have used all sorts over the years, some make me very clumsy and contribute to burns. Once I had some cloth ones filled with kapok that were like a mitten, with a thumb and all, they were very good.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a good pair of oven gloves for Christmas! Debbie
I'm wishing I had some Christmassy oven gloves now. 🎅
ReplyDeleteYou got an analytic mind for everything
ReplyDeleteI do not have the oven gloves, only potholders.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Jan I use red silicone oven gloves in my kitchen year round. I bought them years ago and they still protect me when needed. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteMine are from ALDI, for "adults", nearly up to my elbows.
ReplyDeleteI like having bright things around me. Winter can be so dull.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same ones for years. I bought a Hallowe'en set this year but still haven't used them. Mine are the same style as the photo. But at work we use plastic mitts style which I am not that keen on!
ReplyDeleteCurently using a convection oven, ours has been out for 3 years but stovetop still works. I have old mitts with coffee and herb designs. Cant wait to fully bake again!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually wear the gloves -- mostly I use potholders. But yes, I have Christmas ones, too!
ReplyDeleteI have so many in the drawer. Some are even from my mom, given to me when I got married, decades ago. They still work and now they're sentimental favorites, too.
ReplyDeleteW used to have some Christmas potholders now we use some that Shari has made.
ReplyDeleteI have pot holders that I made from wool--not Christmasy, though. I used to have Christmas pot holders years ago that someone gave me, but I didn't use them--just put them up in the kitchen for a festive decoration. I like the little robin on the ones pictured.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite mitts are from King Arthur Baking Company.
ReplyDeleteI have mitts and just regular square pot holders.
ReplyDeleteWe use some I made. They have a layer of insulbrite and two layers of batting...oh, and they are pot holders not gloves/mits.
ReplyDeleteI don't cook!!! On the rare occasion that I need Mitts, I use my sweatshirt sleeves or a dish towel. I do have a pair of those heat proof gloves add some potholder somewhere. Have a merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI wish they made kid sized mitts because they are always way to big and awkward on my hands. But I like a mitt.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair that was given me for our wedding shower, many years ago but i generally use hot pads instead, and yes I have a favorite pair of those :)
ReplyDeleteTengo algunos en el cajón, suelo usar más los paños de cocina. Besos.
