There is a discussion about silicon oven mitts at rec.food.cooking. I have
seen the ove-glove and as I recall it is some type of knit fabric. If so,
does it absorb water? I have gotten some nasty burns with wet oven mitts.
Costco has a set of two silicon mitts and two silicon potholders for about
$24. I have been tempted to buy the set.
