Oven mitts come in a variety of sizes and weights, as well as different materials. The Inspector received word from a listener that she had been given a new pair of silicone oven mitts that were "heat resistant to 250 degrees." Despite this, she was scorched when she removed her dish from the oven with it.
The Inspector then went out and bought five different culinary gloves, three of which were silicone and two of which were fabric, and had them tested by the VRT cook. He was unconcerned about mitts that allowed heat to pass through, but he chose the thickest silicone glove as the best option. He could handle the saucers properly since his thumb and index finger were separated from the other fingers. A folder outlining the many types of heat resistance was included with the glove.
