We put an incredible amount of trust in oven mitts, amirite?

FYI, never use a wet oven mitt on something hot. I learned that organically much later in life than one might expect.

An Aurora Borealis? Located within your kitchen?

You call these steamed hands despite the fact they are obviously grilled.

Why?

Water transmits heat much much better than air or oven mitt material. You'd burn your hands in seconds.

What about the leidenfrost effect?

That is why I use welding gloves. Nothing is coming out of my oven or grill over 1200 F

Say that to the burnt fry that started on fire in my toaster oven

I had one do me dirty one time. I still offer too much trust

Depends on where you buy the oven mitt. I have a really good silicone covered one that is amazing. I bought a different one at the dollar store thinking it'd be nice to have 2 to take big dishes out of the oven with. One burnt hand later, I've realized not all oven mitts from everywhere could be trusted.

You would be ill-advised to trust mine. Going on 20 years now.

Not really. If it's still hot I'm putting the food back down.

I burnt my thumb from someone's mitt that had a hole on the seam. Now I'm a trust but verify kind of person.

My wonderful boyfriend got me the ove glove when I started baking a lot. I definitely put a lot of trust in them

wet one and pick up a hot pan, your faith in them will diminish very quickly.

I used to work at a sandwich place and went to take cookies out of the oven, there was a hole in the finger tip and I touched straight baked metal, still hate baking.
