Summary: 4 Stars

While I am not much of chef, this five finger insulated glove is a very useful item for a variety of activities around the house requiring more dexterity than an oven mitt. Originally, I needed a glove to remove extremely hot (400 degrees +) unswitched, always-on spotlights and replace them with much cooler energy-efficient LED bulbs. Leather work gloves did not provide enough insulation but the Ove Glove worked fine. These small diameter bulbs would be difficult to remove with a traditional oven mitten while the five finger Ove Glove design allowed for the press-in, rotate motion required to remove the 2 inch diameter bulbs.

There are few activities that require my using gloves in the kitchen as my meal preparations generally utilize a microwave. However, when I boil water in a Pyrex measuring cup for several minutes to make tea, the handle is too hot to touch with bare hands. The Ove glove works well for this application. When you have a product like this available, you will find new uses for it. Today, I found that the glove works well for holding an ice pack to the afflicted area of the body after an injury. It gives the wearer far more control than an insulating washcloth.

The one problem that may affect some users of the Ove Glove is the permeability of the Kevlar fabric. Steam burns and large amounts of steam will easily penetrate the woven fabric of the Ove Glove. Likewise, hot liquids accidentally spilled on the gloves will burn the skin underneath. Thick silicone rubber oven mitts are better for applications where splashing liquids are involved. Overall, the Ove Glove is as good as it gets without spending significantly more on industrial high temperature gloves.

Pros
Good dexterity
Silicone pads provide excellent grip

Cons
Little to no protection from steam and hot liquids

I would tell everyone they should have at least one, I bought two. Nice at times to have two, if what your picking up is on the heavy side!

Everyone enjoys these as gifts. They are very comfortable and give you freedom of movement. It's easy to handle small dishes. I wish they we a little more het proof. You won't be carrying a hot dish very far with these.
