Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Calphon Twill Thumb Mitt Comment: You can not hold anything that is hot for very long. It is not as heat resistent as other gloves/mitts that I have purchased. Customer Rating: Summary: Works great, except for thumbs Comment: As with all my reviews regarding kitchen gear, they are from two perspectives: mine (of course), and my spouse's. I'm just a regular kitchen schmo, but she is a professional chef who has attended culinary school. We've had these oven mitts for about a year now, and we're both more-or-less pretty happy with them. I mostly just use them for when I bake cookies and pizzas, which I feel is pretty representative of your typical baking usage. When it comes to oven mitts, I have a low bar for satisfaction: do they fit and do they keep my hands cool? In this case, they do. My spouse uses them quite a bit more extensively than I do; she bakes nearly every single day and uses them for handling a lot of cast-iron cookware. Her biggest complaint is that the shape and silicon coating makes it difficult to use them with a natural thumb motion. To clarify, it's easy to move your thumb into your hand (i.e. thumb touching the side of your index finger), but difficult to move your thumb across your palm (ie, thumb touching pinky). As such, it's not the best for stove-top usage (gripping handles) or for things like 9"x13"x2" pans where you need to get your thumb around the top for a good grip. Still, they're perfectly serviceable and after a year of hard usage, they don't show any sign of fraying or having the silicone coating wearing off - which is more than you can say for your average inexpensive oven mitt. Customer Rating: Summary: Great mitts at least for large hands Comment: This mitts are among the best over mitts I've ever used (the other close contender is the kool-tech, and I think I like this new Calphalon one better). They offer great heat protection (I regularly move around an iron pot that's been in the oven at 500F for an hour, baking bread), great grippiness, and the fit and manueverability is as good an any other oven mitt I've used. Granted it's not as nimble as the gloves you would wear in cold weather, but they never are. It's comparable to a somewhat stiff mitten. I am a man with large but not huge hands (a large glove size fits me), and I don't find extra space at the end of the finger section as one commenter posted. In fact the thumb joint doesn't come all the way down to mine so shorter fingers than mine would fit without leaving space. The seams seem to be very sturdily sewn. Customer Rating: Summary: Worthless Comment: They don't do any better than the cheapest grocery store oven mitt. I can just get a casserole out of the oven and onto the top before my fingers are burned. There is no way I could walk 10 steps to the dining table without the heat going right through and burning me. Customer Rating: Summary: Dependable glove Comment: Best glove I've ever had--nice and long to cover that part of your arm that often just grazes the oven door.
