Title: Heat resistant gloves
Post by: jboo70 on January 18, 2014, 03:34:35 AM
Does anyone use these types of gloves?  I saw a couple on amazon that looked like they would do the job really well.  Here are the links

Never used either of them (I am too cheap to buy them), but both of them are in my save for later at Amazon so I am looking forward to hearing from others who may use them.  I have about 800 pairs of non-latex gloves, so I just tend to put them on over and under other gloves as needed and also use them for meat handling (yeah, it gets hot sometimes but I tough it out).

I love my amazon wish lists.  I have several categories.  Even if I don't get them from amazon its a great place to store wants and needs (but mostly wants).

I have and used the insulated food gloves (second Link) and they work great..

I also have the silicone ones as in the first link but have not tried them yet...

I have gloves like the second link , use for pulling pork, shrewd with my hands. They work well but get very slick.
Might invest in the first look interesting.

My older daughter gave me two of those that muebe linked to for Christmas and I love them.  They are sold at Kroger. I guess you could use them to pull pork but I wouldn't. I use them only for handling hot stuff out of the oven, off the grill etc...not wet stuff. I tried the silicone mitts and found them kind of clumsy to handle compared to gloves; however, they do a great job of protection.

I don't have either but I prefer the 2nd link better. Saved both for more research.

Thanks for posting ;D

I was gifted a pair of the Raichlen gloves but melted them (misuse) the first time I tried them.

My second pair of gloves for lifting meat out of the pit...
(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq206/pmillen/LobsterGloveEdited.jpg)

didn't fit well enough to inspire confidence.  So I gave them away.

Still shopping.  Need to try them on before buying.

Have a pair like the 2nd link--quite useful, although as someone pointed out, VERY slick!   Be careful when lifting roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc., off the grill or you just might find it on the ground/floor/ wherever.    And do NOT get the insides dirty/greasy--very hard to get really clean again and take a while to dry, as I learned the hard way!   Is there any other way to learn?   Someone hep me!

I have the Silicone mitts and can lift the hot smoker box out of the gas smoker without heat - very good for lifting hot grates, etc. Not so good for lifting food because they are slick as silicone.

I have the ove gloves az well and they are pretty heat resistant, though not as much as the silicone. You don't want to hold really hot grates, etc for long. They are not for food handling because of the absorbant fabric. They are better fitting and give you more dexterity.

Just sayin '...

The mits seemed to be to cumbersome.  I liked the glove better.  I was worried about the slickness of the grey pair.  I think I'll get the green ones and then I'll do a review when I get them.

Post by: jboo70 on January 25, 2014, 02:26:29 AM
My Gecko Gloves came today.  They are a great buy.  I have larger hands so they are just a tad tight but dexterity is still good.  They are super grippy.  I've used them for Oven duty so far and they work perfectly.  I look forward to using them on the grill next weekend.  I've got some pulled pork to cook for the super bowl.

Here are some unboxing pictures.

The Gecko Glove looks interesting….I have spent more money on gloves than I would like to admit…

THESE are my best ever.

You can quite literally reach into a deep fryer, and pull things out. I would not doddle when doing it - but, I can trust them to that degree, and have done it in 400F oil. SO, they handle any hot meat, grabbing BBQ pit racks, etc… And the long cuff prevents those "tattoos" we all hate giving ourselves on the underside of our forearms….

I have these:
https://www.bigpoppasmokers.com/store/bbq-accessories/neoprene-heat-gloves

they are great. I have 2 pair, one for "clean" food handling work, and the other for "dirty" work like taking the MAK apart when it is hot.

I got mine from a restaurant supply in Tallahassee FL - Dee.  But, I know they are also sold online. The lining is incredible and these are SO much better than anything else I have tried. I think they were $30-35..... But, you will have them for a very very long time.

+1 on the Black Knight Gloves.   Use them for food handling and moving hot grates

I also have these and you are right, do not get them dirty or wet on the inside. I've tried to turn them inside out to get them clean but not too successful. Other than that they work great and I've used them for years.

Did you say "hold my beer and watch this" the first time you tried sticking your hand down in 400 degree oil?

I use several types of gloves, most commonly disposable food service, but also use high heat food gloves for handeling meat , also for shredding / pulling meat & insulated gloves for moving burning logs .

I have  ones of heavy duty Nitrile for disposables....But for cooking and handling anything from reaching into a hot deep fryer to moving grill grates from a hot grill FRYER GLOVES....
I found look at the link I posted earlier -to the manufacturer's site....you will Se that they are the most tested and approved gloves you can buy for the job we are talking about....not a guy selling gloves made for another industry....that may do the job. I like to think of my hands as valuable assts.....These gloves are worth many times the price. And you can get them with removable washable or replaceable liners. The nicest you will find.
At least look them over for Pete's sake!

Didn't think to mention I also have two pair of the long suede gloves--great for spreading charcoal, turning or moving anything on the grill--especially when you have to have more than your hand over the heat.   AND, for you gardeners, they are invaluable when trimming the rose bushes ( or anything with spikes, sharp points or even small branches).  Sure helps protect the forearms.

When "T" speaks I listen, have those gloves booked for a later time.

I don't often get pumped up about a product....but having gone through dozens - really dozens of pairs...I LOVE these gloves. I have no vested interest in the company - but, I do like so much about their products. 4 different glove sizes. 2 cuff lengths. Option for removable liners. Immersion TESTED performance  in deep fryers....


Yeah...CDN I am anal about certain things...And I thank you for the compliment - but, I just really hate to waste money on those things that - are:

1. pretty important to safety!
2. I really need to count on their performance when you don't have time for a "plan B" :D
3. I get tired of spending over and over for less than satisfactory performance. It cost more, and wastes time. ;)

Ordered a pair of these today from thebbqglove.com. They were $32 but the shipping is a gut punch. These Original Fryer Gloves are used by institutions and restaurant chains. Most of the stuff I found on Amazon looked like they would need replacing every year. These gloves are also the only ones I could find in my size. Most places sell nothing but XL. I could put my foot in those.

Black might be the best since it matches burned skin.
Looks like this dude had too many probe wires:

The ones I have are more like mitts.  All the fingers are in one large pocket.  It's marginally useful.  I think the ones with fingers would be the way to go.  One thing I have noticed about the pair I have is they are very smooth.  Once you get some grease from the met on them it makes it very hard to keep a grip on anything.  So those Gecko gloves look like they would be an improvement as they have ridges on the edges of the bumps instead of being 100% smooth.  I do have 3 pairs of the Ove-gloves.  They had them in the mark down bin at Kroger for like $2 a pair and I bought all they had.  Great for hot pans, but I've never tried to pick up meat directly with them.

I saw some "hot hands" silicone gloves on TV the other night.  $9.95 a pair (plus the usual shipping and handling I presume).  They look a lot like the Gecko gloves.

I have tried every kind of glove you can imagine. In my experience - there is nothing even close to  http://www.fryerglove.com   

I have stuck my ( long cuffed )gloved hand down into an in use fryer with oil at 375F....Never even got uncomfortable.....
