Oven Mitts & Pot Holders

Find the Best Oven Mitts for Your Kitchen

When things start heating up in the kitchen, you'll need an oven mitt within easy reach. Whether you're cooking your go-to prime rib recipe or baking a favorite dessert, it's important to have a reliable pair of oven mitts before you reach into the oven. Not sure which to choose? The best oven mitts are both heat-resistant and durable, but there are several varieties that fulfill this criteria. Silicone oven mitts, for example, are ideal when taking a hot casserole or baking dish out of the oven because the non-slip material provides extra grip to safely hold onto your food while enduring high temperatures. Heat-resistant oven gloves with fingers, meanwhile, allow you to perform other kitchen functions, such as stirring or resetting the timer, without removing the mitt. And of course, classic kitchen mittens are always a safe choice; made of dense layers of fabric, these kitchen gloves works best with a pot holder to help you grasp your bakeware. If you prefer a pair of baking mitts instead, consider a double oven mitt connected by a thin piece of fabric; not only does this make them easier to hang, it also means that you'll never lose the matching set. If your cooking mittens get dirty, not to worry; simply throw them in the washing machine to remove stains and splatters.

Oven Mitts and Pads for Every Kitchen

Besides protecting your hands, oven mittens also make for eye-catching decorative accents when hung from a hook or cabinet knob in the kitchen. To achieve a minimalist look, for example, coordinate a neutral double oven mitt with a black pot holder, or add a set of white oven mitts for a simple refresh. If you're into a more eclectic aesthetic, add a pair of mini oven mitts to your kitchen tools collection—their compact design pairs seamlessly with your mini bowls in a smaller kitchen. No matter your preferred style or durability level, kitchen mittens are basic necessities to include in your kitchen. Heading to a wedding? Create thoughtful gift basket by purchasing a cookware item off the couple's gift registry, then fill it with wrapped kitchen essentials, such as a pair of matching aprons, a cookbook, a rolling pin, dish towels and an oven mitt.
