I ordered this glove to use with the grill. The glove does what it says it should my only problem is that it is not very flexible. I like the softer more supple Lekue Silicone Super Flexible Oven Mitt, Tangerine much better. The only problem with the LeKue is the thumb is not in the "pinching position" like it is with the Orka but since it is so soft and supple, flexing or picking things up is not an issue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate Oven Mitt, But Just Barely, October 15, 2008

This is an adequate oven mitt, but there are so many better ones out there (I recommend Lekue). Still, see this one demonstrated here. Your hand feels like it's kind of trapped in a huge plastic device, and you lose lots of mobility. I purchased the translucent oven mitt, but this one is exactly the same except for the black color.

Barely recommended, just because it is certainly quite sturdy.

I had seen these before I purchased them, so I knew the quality was top notch. I selected the shorter kind because I don't forsee the need for longer mits. These are great because you can clean them. They aren't like the dirty germ factory mits you have.
The important difference that sets these apart from a few competitors is the thumb in the opposed position. I bought a different set for my mom but they were hard to use because the thumb was on the side and it wouldn't easily flex if your hands are small. These don't have that problem at all. Also, the inside of them are very grippy.
A neat feature that is pictured on the packaging is the ability for you to grab things out of boiling water with these. It still seems kinda risky to me.
