OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt with Magnet, Charcoal

The Oxo Good Grips oven mitt with magnet is heat-safe to 600 degrees. The silicone surface is flame-, stain- and steam-resistant. The nonslip silicone grooves offer improved dexterity and grip while the soft fabric liner provides added insulation and comfort.

Unlike most bulky, awkward oven mitts, this silicone one from OXO lives up to the Good Grips name-it grips with dexterity and flexibility, thanks to its ribbed design. The mitt also looks more modern to complement today's kitchens, and comes in a choice of bright colors. Measuring 13 inches in length (one size fits all), the mitt is long enough to protect the wrist and part of the forearm, and is flexible enough to fit either a left or right hand. A soft, quilted fabric liner adds further insulation, prevents sweating, and lets the mitt slip easily on and off.

Where's The Other One
Maybe it's just me but when I bought this I just assumed there would be 2 ... one for each hand! Makes no sense to me why anyone would only want one. The one I received looks good but I haven't eally tried it yet. Still trying to understand why one one ... ? Would have given 2 1/2 stars because it seemed appropriate. The one I received I would rank it at the top due to my first impression. Can't exactly rate the second one so that one scored a zero.

I've had them for years & I swear by them
I have the Tucker burn guard commercial line, kitchenaid and various designer potholders and I've stopped using them all except these Oxo. These are great for blocking the heat. I have smallish female hands and I admit that these mits took some getting used to. Once I got used to them (after the first or second use) I routinely reach for them. Its to the point that I don't even have the other ones out anymore. I am here looking to replace my original set of 3 (2 mits + 1 potholder) and I was surprised by the negative reviews. So surprised in fact that I am writing this review. I swear by them.

Poor functionality for high temp mitt
The mitt provides outstanding protection but it's too stiff and clumsy for regular use in the kitchen. I think it's best suited for moving grills, racks, etc.

I love this silicon gear!
Works so well and you never have a chance of getting liquid heat through to your hands.

I have a couple of these now and regularly give them to friends for presents - they all love them!

looks great but poorly designed
Let me begin with a positive note on the OXO Good Grips oven mitt: It looks great and the magnet is a good idea. Now for the negative aspects of this item: it's WAY over-priced, especially for how poorly it is designed. The way this oven mitt is designed does not give you a "Good Grip," which is ironic since it's called the "OXO Good Grips" oven mitt. It's hard to explain, but the silicone part is somewhat stiff and when you put your hand in the mitt, you cannot easily grab things, especially if what you're trying to grab is small (like a pan lid) or narrow (like the handles on a roaster pan). It's like this mitt was designed as though the only thing anyone uses an oven mitt for is to take hot cookie sheets out of the oven. I decided not to give it one star ONLY because it does a good job of insulating your hand from high temperatures. I strongly suggest that if you are considering purchasing this OXO mitt, you should go to a store and try it on first to see what you think about the design.
