I don't know if this item falls under "equipment," but as I was taking a
cake out of the oven and singing the praises of my 'ove-glove,' I want to
recommend them. Because one is not cheap, I bought one @ $14.99 if I
remember correctly. It worked so well over a month or so, so I bought
another one; so I have a pair. The temperature written on them to not
exceed is 480. I have used them for higher heats than this, but am not
recommending that for others - "let the buyer beware."

They're great.

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.

I happened to look at the "Ove Glove" in a store the other day, and, indeed,
there are warnings not to try to use them when they're wet.

If the mitts didn't look so clumsy, I'd be tempted too... our silicon
potholders (about $5 apiece) work great.

This is what it says on the back of the package (I scan everything - sigh!)
Dupont Nomex and Dupont Kevlar. When exposed to an open flame, the outer
layer of the glove does not catch fire and does not melt. 'Ove' Glove is
not waterproof and hsould not be used if it becomes wet. Please use extra
caution around hot liquids.
Machine Washable

I have not had an opportunity to test these out for wetness -- thank
heavens. One thing that I do use them for is taking bread/pizza out of the
oven (when husband is not convenient). I, myself, will not take the pan of
hot water for steam out of the oven with the mits, so I must've thought
about it. The mits do not fit my hands, but more like big gloves. Even so,
they provide more protection (for me) than mits than barbecue mits I have
used in the past, which are mits (not having fingers).

I've not seen the Costco mits and potholders in my area. I would be tempted
also. But I am happy with my gloves, probably mainly because they are
gloves and I feel I have more control. I have always felt that any mit or
pot holder was dangerous in that it could slip right out of your hand or off
the pot, and I have had some burns this way, myself.

I bought them (Orka brand). The mitts are a bit awkward. You really
have very little feel for what you are trying to do. I also own a pair
of welders gloves that are ugly as hell but work quite well. The mitts
do protect you for a reasonably long period but you need the extra time
because handling stuff is awkward.

The feature I like is the washability. For example if you handle a big
awkward hunk of meat like brisket on a smoker you can simply throw it in
the dishwasher. I have not yet tried pulling lasagna noodles out of
water but that was the other application I had in mind when I bought
them.

I like the way they block the heat, but I find them awkward as they don't
wrap around handles very well compared to regular pot holders.

Sorry, I misspoke somewhat: we use them as trivets.

I still use old-fashioned thick woven cloth potholders as potholders (and
they, like Ove Gloves, don't really work when they get wet)

I use oven GLOVES, the ones with seperate fingers.
