I've had a handful (no pun intended) of oven mitts or hot pads over the years, and my biggest issue was not having any dexterity. Having actual gloves with actual fingers is *so* much better. No question about whether I have a solid grip on a pot or a pan. These also have the best heat protection out of any gloves I've ever used, and I really like how far up the arm they go.
These are so much more than pot holders. The have excellent grip that makes up for the loss of dexterity with gloves and tho I haven't done much more than handle my chimney and a few smaller pans and foil packs on the grill I'd say these things are great. I feel none of the heat coming through on anything so far
Even though the fit isn't great, these gloves protect my hands from the heat very effectively. I can life the hot grill from my 26" kettle without fear of burning my fingers. I no longer have to use long handled tools to try to lift off the grill in an unsafe way. I can also handle my charcoal chimney more confidently. Finally, the gloves are easy to wash, unlike leather gloves.
Does Weber think that women don’t grill? These gloves were way too big for me and had to be returned as they were also too big for my husband. Why don’t these come in S/M?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
