Silicone BBQ gloves

Protect your hands against heat while cooking, baking, or BBQing

I’ve stopped using a turner to flip over steaks and hamburgers on the grill. It’s much easier to use these heat-resistant silicone gloves to handle the meat. With them, I can set the meat anywhere on the grill I want. I also use them to pull the roasting pan out of the oven, and for lifting heavy turkeys out of the roasting pan. I don’t bother carving the bird with a knife, either – I just take the hot meat off the carcass with the gloves on. I’m able to easily strip the meat clear to the bone. You say you want your chicken breast in neat slices? Fine, I’ll make a reservation for you at Furr’s.

Now, these gloves do conduct heat more quickly than an insulated fabric potholder, and they retain heat longer. So you can’t be leisurely as you handle hot things with these gloves.
