Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Unlike most bulky, awkward oven mitts, this silicone one from OXO lives up to the Good Grips name-it grips with dexterity and flexibility, thanks to its ribbed design. The mitt also looks more modern to complement today's kitchens, and comes in a choice of bright colors. Measuring 13 inches in length (one size fits all), the mitt is long enough to protect the wrist and part of the forearm, and is flexible enough to fit either a left or right hand. A soft, quilted fabric liner adds further insulation, prevents sweating, and lets the mitt slip easily on and off.

Product Description

The OXO GOOD GRIPS Silicone Oven Mitt is the best of both worlds: 600°F heat resistant silicone on the outside and cool, comfortable fabric on the inside. The silicone grip is heat safe and flame, stain and steam resistant. On the inside, the thick fabric liner brings additional thermal insulation, yet lets your hand breathe to prevent sweating. OXO's unique silicone rib design improves flexibility and dexterity and provides a secure grip even on slippery surfaces. Our Mitt truly fits like a glove, letting you pick up items small and large. At 13 inches long, the Mitt is long enough to protect the wrist and forearm and fits either your right or left hand. To conveniently store and access your Mitt in the kitchen, simply use the embedded magnet to hang on steel surfaces or place the silicone hanging loop on a hook. To clean, just wipe the Mitt with a damp sponge, or wash and dry in the laundry machine.

2.0 out of 5 stars looks great but poorly designed, March 5, 2006

Let me begin with a positive note on the OXO Good Grips oven mitt: It looks great and the magnet is a good idea. Now for the negative aspects of this item: it's WAY over-priced, especially for how poorly it is designed. The way this oven mitt is designed does not give you a "Good Grip," which is ironic since it's called the "OXO Good Grips" oven mitt. It's hard to explain, but the silicone part is somewhat stiff and when you put your hand in the mitt, you cannot easily grab things, especially if what you're trying to grab is small (like a pan lid) or narrow (like the handles on a roaster pan). It's like this mitt was designed as though the only thing anyone uses an oven mitt for is to take hot cookie sheets out of the oven. I decided not to give it one star ONLY because it does a good job of insulating your hand from high temperatures. I strongly suggest that if you are considering purchasing this OXO mitt, you should go to a store and try it on first to see what you think about the design.

The mitt provides outstanding protection but it's too stiff and clumsy for regular use in the kitchen. I think it's best suited for moving grills, racks, etc.

I bought this mitt as a replacement for an old-school fabric model by KitchenAid which had been left on the hot stove plates a few too many times. I like it - inside, the lining is soft and has a bit of padding, but not too much that you can't grab with it. The outside is an interesting blend of silicone with grooves, strategically placed so that it helps to hold on to what you're grabbing that much better. (If you've ever used an Orka mitt, you know how hard it is to really grab things sometimes.) The entire hand portion of the mitt is covered in the silicone, so it's just about as workable as other silicone mitts when using it on wet items.

I like this mitt and would recommend it. The magnet in the wrist is a nice feature as well - I place it on the side of my oven so it's always nearby when I need it.
