I have not heard of oven gloves, so when I was given the chance to try them out, I jumped at it. I do cook a lot using the oven and these came in time for use on our grill. We have not used it yet out there on the grill, but we will. I should say I will because the size of the gloves will only fit me. They have silicon strips on top and it helped when it came to handling the dish.
