Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Isi 11-Inch Silicone Oven Mitt, Blue
Customer Review: Specialty Oven Mitt
Summary: 5 Stars
A pair of these great specialty oven mitt will compliment the other mitts, pot holders, and trivets in your personal kitchen or backyard grill.
Since asbestos is illegal, the design of these gloves are dictated by the properties of silicone.
The large thumb makes it difficult to use one (1) glove for picking up small objects. The thumb can pick up dead crabs, dead lobsters, corn on the cob; basically anything large and floating in a boiling liquid. It also works great with large, easy to grip cookware handles such as many OXO products.
Two (2) are perfect for lifting any pot or pan without handles.
With cookware, it is easier to use two (2) of these like waterproof towels. Unlike towels, the end of these silicone mitts have ridges that grip the side of slick surfaces like glass, ceramic, metal, shell, etc; even when the surface is wet. While not designed for delicate tasks, the thumb can still get in the way of some pans. If you are using a roasting pan and need the thumbs out of the way, just fold them back along the palm and tie them with twine. When you are done just untie the twine. Do not cut the twine, or you may cut the silicone and ruin the glove.
Silicone, even at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, takes a while to warm up. However, silicone warms up faster than asbestos, so these are not recommended for constant use, like a factory kitchen. If you need to cool them quickly, just drop them in cold water for a few minutes, dump out the water inside, and go back to using them.
Silicone also has less tensile strength than asbestos. Do not cut or puncture these mitts. While silicone is squishy and has a slight resistance to cutting or puncturing, once cut, torn or pierced, the damage quickly spreads.
While they have a built in hole for hanging, the thickness and rigidity of silicone required, makes these impossible to fold into tiny squares and stash in a drawer.
Considering the amount of silicone, these mitts are reasonable priced, but depending on your budget and kitchen they may not be right for you.
Description of Isi 11-Inch Silicone Oven Mitt, Blue
Don this amazing mitt and you're prepared to deal with pretty much any kitchen chore. Waterproof, and incredibly heat-resistant, this mitt will protect your hand from boiling water, fat and oil up to 500 Degrees F, as well as direct flame, grills, charcoal. It even works when wet!Appropriately named, the ORKA oven mitt looks like a whale swimming in to pull lobsters from boiling water or lift a basket of French fries from the deep fryer. Made of non-porous, food-grade silicone, the mitt is designed to withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees F without melting, staining, or getting your hands wet. This makes the ORKA ideal for cooking with boiling water or oil or using over grills or open flames. Slip-resistant "teeth" on the mitt?s grasping surface provide a sure grip when lifting greasy or wet pots. At 11 inches long, the mitt is long enough to protect the forearm and fit either right or left hands of all sizes. For easy cleaning, the ORKA goes right into the dishwasher with the rest of your pots and pans. This product was the top gadget at the 2002 Excellence in Housewares Awards and has also been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, and CNN. --Cristina Vaamonde
