How to Use Oven Mits?

That's what I've been using lately. But the fringes catch on fire
when I use to shake the fire pan of my smoker. Oven mits are perfect
for being able to lift up and shake the whole fire pan. Potholders
don't work.

C'mon, Barb, you can make some yourself. They're so easy! I can see
it now - blue ribbons for kitchen accessories at the next State
Fair! ;-)

Picture me wearing a hockey mask with a bloody axe in one hand and
sporting those mitts.

They totally ruin the moment.

Why would you say that? Obviously, a pair of oven mitts is not something
you'd gift to a guy that doesn't cook. I've gotten other cooking tools
as gifts so evidently I'm seen as the cook by others.

I know theory alright but my practical experience pretty much spans most
of my life. If all I knew was theory, I wouldn't brine my turkeys
because theoretically, soaking turkeys in a salt solution doesn't work.
As it goes, practical experience combined with theoretical knowledge
allows me synthesize dishes. From what I've seen, mostly you're a recipe
jockey. :-)

OTOH, I'm not interested in discussing other people in this forums.
Ideas and concepts - yes. Other people - no. Now get back to your
strange fantasies. :-)

Probably why I only have one. I never would have bought one in
a million years-- but my wife has been to a bunch of the PC parties
and tries to get stuff that at least would get used.

When I look at mine- several years old- and compare it to the other
Mitts in my kitchen-
1. it is a lot bigger- and covers a bit of forearm
2. I can slip my hand into it while it lays on the counter without
getting my stirring hand involved
3. I can take a pan out of a 500degree oven and not be searching for
someplace to put it down quickly
4. no hot spots
5. apparently doesn't burn-- all the rest have some kind of burns on
them

If someone broke into my house and stole it tonight- I would tell her
to buy another next time she had to go to a PC party.

Is that an endorsement?

Draw around your hand (4 fingers together, with the thumb sticking
out) - make a paper pattern - draw around it on two layers of quilted
fabric (with or without insulation) and sew the two layers together.
Sheesh, it's not rocket science!

They are super cheap to make with supplies from a fabric shop, and you
can have as much insulation as you want, wherever you want it.

Hahahaha. I have to laugh. They belong with the dish drainer
that rusts, the dish towels that don't dry, and all of the other
crazy things that crowd the stores now. It is all just crazy.
Does no one devote an iota of thought to what they are producing now?

BTW, Polder never did reply about that dish drainer. Maybe I'll
do some reviews of it.

If you saw a sign with an apostrophe in the wrong place, would you
copy it because it was up there on the sign, and therefore correct?

They look pretty useless. Perhaps they are less likely to be dropped
than a potholder, but not much.

I just bought a Costco pack of washcloths. That works pretty well. You
can also use them for wiping up. They launder easily. You can even use
them as washcloths!

We have oven mitts with thumbs, but I can never find them.

Gee, I just grab and fold a terry dish towel for removing stuff from
the oven. Works fine and easily washed.

I do have a set of mitts around here ...somewhere.....

That's an excellent idea. Can you recommend any how-to articles? I
could try to persuade the seamstress in our family to make some, but
she's got enough challenges right now.
