Every kitchen, without exception, needs at least one pair of oven gloves. You can’t cook, especially in the oven, without something to protect your hands from searing hot pans and dishes. OK, perhaps you prefer to use tea towels. However, when cooking on a gas hob, you could easily catch a corner of a tea towel on the flame and cause a bit of damage to yourself or the kitchen… I know I have!
Oven gloves with fingers are my preferred choice. I find it hard to manoeuvre when cooking with gloves that are like mittens. I like complete movement in all my digits.
#3 would be my first choice. Although they’re the most expensive, you get a pair of gloves for the price; with the other examples, you only get a single one. In addition, after a couple of decades as a chef, I have a number of burn scars up my arms. These oven gloves have long sleeves, giving added protection.
