Unlike conventional oven gloves, this intelligent design separates the index finger from the other fingers, giving you much more dexterity when handling hot cookware. With an additional free finger, you can use your thumb and index finger together to pull baking trays or casserole dishes forward in the oven or lift hot pan lids more easily. The heat-resistant silicone palms are thickly lined and offer additional comfort with their padded cuff. Easy to clean and machine washable. Suitable for right-handed users only.
