These are heavy thick gloves to be used handling hot
items. I tested them by holding a hot
skillet after grilling a ham and cheese.
No problem, no skin left on the frying pan which is always a good
thing. I then unloaded the dishwasher
during the heated dry cycle. I don't
know about your dishwasher but you do NOT want to grab the dishes out of mine
while it is in the heated dry cycle.
Again no problem, no burns and no dropped dishes. My final test was to put a 200 watt incandescent
light bulb in a lamp and let it cook for 30 minutes. I then removed the bulb using the
glove. I have no way of measuring the
temperature of the light bulb but I absolutely would not grab it without
protection. The glove allowed reasonable
dexterity with apparently fool proof protection.
My negatives are that they are cumbersome however not nearly
as cumbersome as pot holders. If your
hands are damp, you will have a hard time getting the glove to slide on. After I thoroughly dried my hands, no
problem with getting the glove on. I do
use baby powder for rubber gloves when I need to squeeze them on, in this case
flour in the kitchen would work just as well.
Again with dry hands it wasn't a problem getting the gloves on.
The vendor suggested you could use the gloves to remove
lids, I had no lids to remove but I do feel they would work for that
application.
I did received the gloves gratis and was asked to review
them. I received no compensation for
the review but I was allowed to keep the gloves. If you read my work, you are aware that I can
on occasion be caustic even with or perhaps especially with free stuff. This review is my honest opinion. There are times where I wish I would have
had these gloves and I suspect my use of burn ointment will decrease with
owning them.
If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
