Grilling gloves are a huge step up from oven mitts and provide protection for your hands in extreme temperatures, whether you’re using a grill, smoker, cooking over a campfire, or just a regular oven. Most have an outer coating (often silicone or neoprene) and a softer cotton interior and protect against temperatures anywhere from 400 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on the brand of gloves). Some are also dishwasher safe, making clean up very easy. Some companies make multiple sizes of grilling gloves while other make gloves that are intended to be one-size-fits-all. These gloves are thick and some can hinder your range of motion with your hands and wrists, so they should still be used with caution.
