How to Use Oven Mits?

One could say the same thing about you.... think it through. You
naturally have to add a 5/8" or so seam allowance to allow for the
stitching. Sheesh, if you were a horse, someone would have to lead
you to the water and push your head under.

Make your own, fairly easy to do. I have a pair my daughter made for me
and Miz Anne makes all of our pot holders from scrap material. Haven't
been burned now in about fifty years.

I don't sew either. These days it just doesn't make sense. Fabric, thread,
zippers and buttons cost soooo much to buy. It's no longer cheaper to make
it yourself. Although I can sew, I am not very good at it. I used to own a
machine. I used to make a few things. Just a few. Bought daughter a Hello
Kitty machine that I read could be used and often is used by adults. She
never opened the box. I got her this after she repeatedly made pillows for
me and the cat using tape or staples to hold them together. Let me tell
you...tape doesn't work! And staples? Well you can just imagine. She has
shown no interest in the machine and probably never will.

I do occasional repairs by hand. I will not do hems. The dry cleaner will
do that. Expensive? Yes. But at least I know they'll do it right. But
mainly I try to buy things that do not need alterations.

It's not how hot it is, it's the weight of it and the lack of convenient
gripping surfaces--there's one handle, it's narrow, and you have to get
a pretty good grip on it, and it's low so if you're not careful you hit
the rack, which is also hot. And if you carry it across the kitchen by
that handle you feel it through the towel pretty quick.

Why not make a custom pattern and outline your hand in a mitt shape
like we used to do in elementary school?

Dogs are much easier to own. Cat dander is far more allergenic than
dog dander because it's saturated with cat saliva. Cats kill
songbirds. Cats shit in the house where you have to smell it unless
you're retired like brokelyn. Cats climb my backyard fence in order to
shit in my vegetable garden. The neighbor's cat is a little whore who
is always backing up to me while I'm pulling weeds and pointing her
vagina at me.

Cast iron and aluminum conduct heat better, and more evenly,
than stainless. The handles of the All-Clad are not ... all clad.
Most other stainless doesn't have a metal handle at all.

I have one aluminum bowl, it's a workhorse. But when I wash
it in hot water, you can't even hardly hold the edges because
the bowl gets wicked hot there fast even though the hot water
is aimed at the bottom.

What are they doing in a bottom drawer??? Sounds like kitchen
organization isn't your forte. Mine are at the front of the top
drawer, under the pullout cutting board between the oven and stovetop.
You could be a stranger in my kitchen and still be able to find things
without asking where they are.

My current ones were a gift from my daughter. She got them at the flower
shop that her friend's mom owns. They are black and white check with some
cherries along the edge.

I have gotten some nice ones for gifts at Central Market. They have all
colors of plain ones and some that are more fancy. Also matching towels.

I made the dress for my first wedding, and half of my outfit
for my second.


I was never much interested in sewing until I joined the Society for
Creative
Anachronism. While I was active in the SCA, I sewed a ton of stuff.
Everything from 15th Century underwear to covers for director's
chairs.


My husband has a 26" inseam. Every pair of pants he buys must
be shortened. It takes me about half an hour per pair.
