Who would think that looking for new oven mitts could be so time consuming so I narrowed my search with certain criteria. I wanted mitts that were decorative, had silicone for high heat resistance, were long enough to protect exposed wrists and were pliable. These Professional Silicone Oven Mitts fit all the criteria and I'm extremely pleased with them. Decorative without being over the top and very upscale. I was really pleased when I received them and saw how nice and they were. Mine are in gray and are neutral without being boring. Perfect to use even with guests at the table. Strong and sturdy but pliable for easy use. Well made and very good quality. The perfect oven mitt and offered at a reasonable price.
