The Best Oven Mitt

Obviously any time you’re dealing with hot dishes coming out of an oven, or touching the handle of a metal pot or skillet on the stove, you’ll need oven mitts or pot holders.

I prefer these over the silicone varieties because I’ve had those melt on me. I love these oven mitts in particular because they are thick enough to protect your hands up to 500 degrees, but don’t restrict your dexterity too much. They also have a lot of considerate utility features, such as being machine washable, and having little magnets in the tag so you can easily stick them to a refridgerator, or link two oven mitts together.
