The Ove Glove oven mitt is great for barbeques, kitchen, rearranging fireplace logs, car repair, welding, light bulb changes and more, the barbeque and handling other hot surfaces around the house or projects around the home. The Ove Glove dramatically extends the time you can handle a hot object in your hands. The tough exterior layer of the glove is designed as a thermal insulator to slow the temperature increase in the soft, doubleknit cotton interior of the glove. If exposed to an open flame, the outer layer of the glove is flame resistant and does not melt.
