I've been seeing these advertised on TV. Local hardware store had them for
$7.50 so I thought I give it a try. One size really does fit just about all
as it went onto my hand easily. I've used it a couple of times not to
handle hot and heavy pans from the oven and it works better than the typical
oven mitt or potholder.

It is not moisture proof so don't use it for picking up a hunk of meat from
the grids but lifting a grid is not a problem. I'd going to get one for the
other hand as they are sold as singles.

It is a Kevlar and something blend. Fits like a cloth clove, easily
bendable. Sort of like wearing a heavy winter glove.

Kevlar (to stop bullets) and Nomex (a fireproofing material)

I use buckskin work gloves for the hot-burning things and never the meat,
don't need any additional roughage. I use two humongous forks to take the
goods off the grill.
HAPPY New-year oh shit here come the Taxes.

Wholey shit you guys must cook some killer Q to need bullet proof AND fire
proof. Gheeze I am way behind.

The Mrs got me a pair of those blue silicone mitts, good for 500° and
washable in the dishwasher. Should be really good for handling cooked
meat, turkey etc. as well as hot grills and heat diffusers.
