Are you sure about that? I just looked at BB&B site and most of their
stuff has metal handles: Cuisinart, Emeril, Calphalon, etc.

Yes, those square things known here as "pot holders". I saw oven
mitts at surly tab today for $7.95. They haven't gone missing, they
aren't even scarce.

I might be surprised, but there's no way I'm going to spend any money
to experiment with them when I don't like oven mitts in the first
place and have no need for them. Only a wuss would go for welder's
gloves.

I like cats cause they're not in your face all the time, although it
looks like you have one nasty cat for a neighbor. Perhaps you can find
some silicone cat panties for her. Unfortunately, my wife is allergic to
clouds of cat saliva flakes wafting through the air. Come to think of
it, that's pretty nasty too.

They sell a potholder making loom for kids that is much the same as it was
when I was a kid. But in my day the loom was metal and the loops were
cotton. Now the loom is plastic and the loops are polyester. The term
potholder is very much misnamed because it says right with the kit that they
can not be used with heat. My daughter made some for gifts but I had her
tell people they were coasters. They were also very small. Just slightly
bigger than a regular coaster.

Some years back, a coworker begged me to make her some crocheted potholders
and dishcloths using a certain yarn that would match her kitchen. I did
make them but just as with the potholders above, these could not be used to
remove things from the oven. I can't remember now where this information
came from. It was either on the yarn label or with the pattern.

Yikes!

I guess the sort of an idiot is:

1. One that doesn't cook
2. One that doesn't know the material would melt

One reason I don't use a dishtowel to get things from the
oven is that they're sometimes damp. Water's a much
better conductor of heat than air is.

I remember the first time I did that! Actually it wasn't a towel but a wet
potholder. I knew from some science class that water conducts heat. But
the potholder just got a little water spilled on it. I thought... How bad
could it be? Well... It was bad!

What gets me are these chefs on TV who use the towels to remove things from
the oven. I figure that the dishes they are removing must not really be
hot. If they were, those towels wouldn't work very well.

I have transported the removable crock from my crock pot in a cardboard box
lined with foil and the crock wrapped with a towel just in case it spills.
Yeah, I know nowadays you can get them with lids that fit on tightly. But I
do not need another crock pot at the moment. Anyway... That thing puts off
enough heat that it goes through the towel and the box by the time I get it
to my destination.

Inform her that they are MITTS not MITS and then she might be able to
ask for or find them in the stores.
