I've had my eye on them for some time. I like the idea that they don't get
wet like fabric and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. It seems that my cloth
oven mitts get wet or I get food on them and they have to go into the
laundry.

The best price I have seen on them is at Costco. They have a package with
two mitts and two pot holder for about $24. I have seen the mitt selling
for upwards of $19 each and the pot holder for about $10- $12.
