Though they look a little wacky, silicone oven mitts can be hugely helpful in the kitchen.
They might not be as attractive as the carefully crafted cloth variety, but these mitts solve all the problems their cloth predecessors could never fix:
- They liberate cooks from those inevitable (and unattractive) burn marks that all well-used mitts seem to get.
- Into the dishwasher with 'em! These mitts are washable, ensuring that next time your fingers dip into the roasting pan's juices, you won't have to see the stain for years to come.
- Speaking of liquid, it won't penetrate the mitts and scald your hands when you're wearing these babies, which means you can also dip your hand into super-hot liquids.
- They're more heat resistant, and some can withstand temperatures exceeding 500 degrees F. In fact, these guys boast safety from temps up to 675 degrees F.
