dirt bags (2009-05-26)
Good idea poorly executed! The pair I got are loaded with crud between the lining and the exterior. You can see the raised crud bumps all over them, one piece looks like it might be a piece of metal sandwiched in. One finger is permanently discolored. They are made in China, where else, and judging by my pair they must have been made in a very filthy factory because of all the dirt embedded in them. I honestly have serious reservations about using them to handle food, and will probably just throw them away to play it safe, since they weren't that costly to hassle returning them.

Barbecue gloves (2009-05-25)
These are great gloves which I use with the Ronco Rotissiere. Able to pick up the hot food and assembly without burning your hands.

Best darn gloves we ever bought.. (2009-01-30)
I bought both the rubber gloves and the insulated outdoor bar b que gloves and like them both..I had had the rubber gloves before and a dog
ate one...(it had ham juice on it)....so the new rubber ones are as good
as before...just have to watch where I put them when I used them during
the prep time...and the others I have not actually used yet but have examined them and know how good they will be...wonder why I didn't buy them years ago...thanks for selling such good products..Barbara Pachy

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8037 Insulated Food Gloves, Pair
Bought these as a gift for someone who works in a school cafeteria. She loves them! Since they are coated, she can place her hand in the oven or a boiling pot of liquid and be protected. Others who work alongside her want to know where she got them.

Why did I wait so long? (2008-12-03)
Got these to deal with the Thanksgiving turkey. For years it's been a battle, me vs. turkey. Using napkins, towels, forks, etc. trying to hold the bird to carve it was a real test. Not to mention getting it out of the roaster! With these, I just picked up the bird, put it on the cutting board, and when the time came, secured the bird while carving perfectly. Best carve I've ever done. Can't wait to pull some pork with these on New Years Day. One thing though, and the reason for 4 stars. The insides of the gloves, if they get wet, take forever to dry! Are you not supposed to get the insides wet???
