All in all these gloves are great. I like having use of my fingers, which you don't get with mits. But sometimes heat does get through eventually.

They're perfect for lifting a pan out of the oven, reaching into the oven, or carrying hot objects to and from the oven and the table.

Not good for holding hot objects for a prolonged period of time.

The longer cuff is a nice feature, I haven't gotten burned yet.

I work with hot asphalt in the lab and all the available industrial gloves just don't keep the heat away. These gloves do. They're great and make work much more bearable.

Shipped on time, shipped as described, product performs well. The extra cuff length covers most of your forearm improving protection from the door, grates and sides of an oven. Good design. I appreciate that the packaging was eco friendly as well. Simple recyclable plasitc bag, no marketing schumtz included or wasted packaging to turn into a landfill. I wish more manufacturers would do this. Would have been nice to get at least a 'care and cleaning' sheet though. But if you're curious I checked on the Dupont site (producers of Nomex) and all they say is keep Nomex clean. Fire resistance in in the material, not a coating of any kind. And its permanent.

For the most part, I like these gloves and I think they do their job if you are quickly removing a pan from the oven and setting on top of the stove or on the counter. However, I make a lot of stock at home and that involves handling really hot roasting pans for a significant amount of time as you deglaze the pan and I've found that when used in those times, these gloves don't keep you protected from the heat that well. I find myself getting very close to uncomfortable levels of heat quickly, which is a bit of a bummer. Also, as I think another reviewer mentioned, if you get them wet and then handle heat, be careful as it will hurt your fingers or palms. I do like the extra long cuff though and again, for basic kitchen use, they are totally fine, I just think for what I tend to use them for most, they don't really keep my hands as safe as I'd like.

The fabric on the glove is not water resistant. I guess I'm used to those old fashioned mitts where the water just kind of rolls off. If hot water spills on the glove it will seep through, although not immediate. I found this out after using the gloves to drain some noodles. I did not realize the hot water was falling onto my fingers because the gloves "do what they say", which is, withstand the heat but when the water finally seeped through to my hand it was pretty hot. I still did not scald myself but it made me realize that I still have to be careful. These gloves work so well, it gave me a false sense of protection. Also, make sure you grip the baking pan with the green digits. It starts to get hot if you don't. Otherwise, I like the extra long cuff for reaching into the oven and the fact that you have fingers instead of one big mitt.

When I first pulled these out of the packaging, I just knew they would be too thin to protect against the heat in the oven, but I was surprised and proven wrong. They reach up my arm enough that I feel confident when using my wall mounted oven, and as a blind person, I like how they grip the pan or dish. The difference between these gloves and my old oven mitts is amazing, and I'm glad I bought them. The only trouble is they fit so tightly and so well that it takes me longer to put them on than it does to remove a pan from the oven. :)

I have very slender fingers for a man and I find these gloves painfully tight, if I'm uncomfortable a guy with average sized hands will find these gloves unusable. These gloves are for woman with delicate hands only.

These would be fine if they were offered in different sizes but until they do they are for woman only.

Bought these gloves for use with our new electric smoker. They work incredibly well. Fit snugly so there is no loss of grip when handling any pot or pan. Work very well when smoking ribs - can grab the racks without alot of juggling. Would recommend them highly to anyone that cooks, bakes, grills, smokes.

These are great, I can handle anything. What I really like about these compared to other oven gloves are the length, they really protect your arms from oven burns.

I have been using hardwood charcoal lumps in my new grill, and I have found that when loading the grill, it is much too hot for my bare hands, even using utensils in the air above the charcoals. I decided to order these gloves to resist the heat.

They work very well for dry heat. With the gloves on, I can work above the charcoals as I place the rotisserie or grills. I can pick up metal parts that are hot from being near the coals, or hot pans from the oven. The temperature gauge on my grill sometimes registers upwards of 700F, but wearing these gloves, I can get the job done.

The gloves could be just a bit larger for my average-sized man hands. On the other hand, if they were too big, there would be less dexterity. They may loosen from use; meanwhile, it does not take too much effort to pull them over my fingers.

The gloves extend several inches from my wrist, but not as far as my elbow. I am satisfied with the length.

I have not checked to see how long my hands have to be exposed to heat before they get too hot. I imagine they will, eventually, but in the amount of time I need, these do fine.

The gloves are made of a knit, heat-proof fabric, and have flexible plastic grips which are also heat-resistant on both sides for use with either hand, and they seem well made. Using any glove will reduce dexterity somewhat, but with these gloves, I have enough dexterity to do the job. I was pleased to find that the gloves are designed to be ambidextrous, and you get two of them in the package. That means I can keep one out by the grill and one in the kitchen, or I can share one with my partner, or I can wear both if required.

Of course, the fabric does not protect against steam or hot water, nor did I expect it to. You can find plastic gloves that offer protection even if you immerse your hands in boiling water. Those gloves may also be useful for the grill, but I think they allow considerably less dexterity. Be aware also that if these gloves are wet and you handle hot items, steam may form and you could be scalded, so keep them dry for use.

I also do not recommend using these gloves to handle hot charcoal. Use tongs for that, but you might want these gloves on while you move charcoal around.
