Cooking Gloves

Finnien - Of all the gloves that I have tried, I like these the best. And, you can't beat the price - $10 a pair, shipping included.

Yep, check your box stores racks for PVC type gloves that are chemical,fuel,grease resistant,like the ones from TXbbq.

These are good for moving around butts and packers.You just rinse them off.

Don't know that I really utilize the gaunlet length in a CS.We even cut the rib knit band off the short ones we use at cookoffs.

Heavy leather is ok,if you move a lot of 350* racks,pickup coals,etc.

If occasionally,use a couple kitchen towels-just like a restaurant kitchen.

Light cotton gloves,under disposable latex is good for pulling hot meats,etc.

We have the Lodge cast iron product gloves,fireman gloves,gauntlets,silicone mitts around the cooksite,but most of the time work in the disposables.

Hope this helps a little.

Finnien, that first one you list is over $100. Keep in mind these will get wear/tear/bbq all over them. My fry mitts probably last only 3 or 4 years then they have to be replaced.

I still have those, but what I've done the last couple of years, is to use cotton gloves and pull on food service/rubber gloves on over them. It's the most flexible option and I can handle most hot stuff out there (just no fires)

I buy cotton gloves in bundles, like 10 to $10, and the rubber gloves I buy them by the case. I can buy a couple of cases for each for the $100.

While looking through our weblogs, I noticed that we were receiving traffic from this forum thread. We occasionally get traffic from random forum posts, and normally we just watch and enjoy the discussion. However, I felt the need to step in to defend these gloves! While I've never heard them used for cooking as an application, I must say that if used, they would not disappoint. These gloves can withstand a direct flame from a blowtorch with your hand in the glove. I don't believe that you can ruin them with any sort of sauces because they are completely washable and will not harden after getting wet. They last for years for firemen who use them every day in extreme conditions for extreme applications. If you were to purchase these, I'm almost certain they would be the last glove purchase you'll make.

Just our two cents

I wish I could get a taste of what you're cooking, though!

Appreciate the info Jason.

The issue for me with most fire gloves, high temp gloves is the need for flexibility when handling food. But hey, if you want to send me a pair, I'll do a BBQ test for you and give you some Professional Feedback. Never know you may have a new market.
