I can't believe these gloves haven't been reviewed by anyone else yet! I've had mine for a year now and they are absolutely great for handling hot foods. I use them for pulling pork butt or moving hot chicken from the grill (or oven) to the cutting board (and then to hold onto it while carving it). When I can't smoke pork butt outside in the winter, I do pulled pork in my crockpot and with these gloves I can shove my hands right into the scalding liquid of the crockpot to remove the butt and then pull it apart. Another great feature is when you clean them, you just leave them on and wash your hands with soap and water under the faucet. I think they're great!

I do quite a bit of smoking meat and they do well with the heat issue but they are very slippery so handling greasy meat is not easy plus they stain. I throw them in the washing machine but some stains stay on them. I would not think you could use these on high heat grilling jobs but for real BBQ low and slow they work OK.

I just purchased similar gloves from TexasBBQrub and they are black so won't show stains as bad and they are textured so not as slippery and they cost the same as these.

These are a great pair of BBQ gloves. I've used them a few times on some things that I've cooked and while they work great I have found couple problems with them. One, they are a little big for my hands. I have medium to large size hands that these gloves are a little big in the fingers. Not usually a problem but it would be nice if they did fit a little better. The other complaint I have is that the material they are made out of is kinda stiff. Again, not a major problem but it would be nice if they were not quite as stiff. If I had to do it all over again I would probably still buy these even with the two minor problems.

I didn't even know a product like this existed until seeing it on Raichlen's TV show. Before I had this, I would try to get all the meat off a freshly smoked chicken using bare hands, knives, and forks, which was an uncomfortable mess. With the insulated gloves, I can now just shred away and not burn my fingers. The outside of the gloves clean up instantly, too. The only downside is if you get food inside the glove by accident; cleaning that out can be a pain.

These gloves served their purpose where cloth/leather gloves were just not adequate. To put them to the test, I used them with my propane grill rotisserie. I could hold the hot metal shaft, unscrew the prongs holding the meat, and then slide the meat off onto a platter, neatly. The glove wasn't affected, and they are easy to clean. I'd give it five stars-- but they are just a bit bulky-- one size fits all; that and I'd expect them to keep my beer cold to earn five stars.

I have used these gloves three times to remove hot chicken from a rotisseri. After only three uses, the gloves have holes and do not protect your hand from the heat. These gloves are not good for anything as far as I'm concerned. Now that I have had them for 40 days I cannot return them. Please don't let yourself be disappointed the way I was. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!

bought these for pulling pork bbq, and making tofu, which requires squeezing a cheesecloth bag with very hot soy pulp in it. The gloves protected my hands very well. recommended.

These gloves made pulling pork a joy. No more hurting fingers from the heat. They worked fantastic, and also allow me to pull hot food such as ribs off the smoker with ease.

These are the first gloves I have found that truly will allow you to handle meat off the pit,especially pulling pork. I will buy more but would like have the same thing in black.

I bought these for our Showtime grill when our old ones got ruined. If these are not exactly the same as what we got with the showtime grill, they're pretty darn close.
The only thing that keeps me from giving them 5 stars is the fact that the pastic coating has stuck the 2nd and 3rd fingers of the right hand together. Not a big problem, but not right either. If quality control lets such an obvious problem out, I imagine that they'd also sell other, no-so-obvious problems.
