BBQ Pals proudly introduces a practical and affordable kitchen accessory.

This company’s founding policy revolves around a caring concern for the wellbeing of others. Supplying grill gloves that help protect cooks and chefs from burns when cooking is something these empathetic individuals thrive on.

It’s important to point out that although the kitchen is a place where favorite foods are prepared and cooked, and is basically the center of any functioning home, it can also be a potentially dangerous place.

Kitchens involve extreme heat, steam, gas, electricity, sharp knives and other pointed utensils. Without the correct hand protection from a pair of cooking gloves, the chances of suffering from burns is likely. Insulated oven grill gloves are specifically designed for the modern kitchen or barbeque. Using a food-grade silicone glove allows cooks to handle what would otherwise be impossible to touch.

In order to create a safe environment in the kitchen and around outdoor cooking, such as BBQs or camping, BBQ Pals offer the security of knowing that hands and fingers can be fully protected when their waterproof, heat resistant grill glove is used.

Knowing that your hands are in safe hands with BBQ Pals silicone grill gloves, you have the assurance that burns can be minimized or completely non-existent when cooking and preparing food.

BBQ Pals Silicone Grill Gloves 10 Safety Tips Around the Kitchen:

  1. Stay alert
  2. Be practical and responsible
  3. Keep a fire extinguisher handy and updated
  4. Keep a close eye on children when cooking or helping in the kitchen
  5. Avoid taking risks with hot or heavy loads
  6. Wear your BBQ Pals silicone grill gloves when working with hot pots, frying pans, baking trays etc.
  7. Never throw water on a oil, fat or electrical fire
  8. Keep smoke detectors maintained
  9. Avoid pan handles sticking outwards. It’s best to turn the pot so that the handle direction is sideways and not able to catch on your clothing or be bumped by someone walking by
  10. According to the US Fire Administration, hot tap water burns are the leading cause of household burns. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends turning down the temperature of your water heater to around 120 F (49 C)

Cooking should be fun and enjoyable. By using the right equipment and safety procedures, the risk of burns can be reduced.

History of Oven Mitts and Silicone Oven Gloves

History of Oven Mitts

Have you ever wondered where oven gloves originated from, and it’s likely that you haven’t, so we did some research to get to the bottom of the story. Apparently, a Texan by the name of Earl Mitt came up with the idea in the early 1870s. It’s said that he suffered a terrible burn when he was baking one of his favorite cakes. Sadly, the burn was so bad that it left permanent damage to his left hand.

In an effort to prevent getting burned again, he invented the very first oven mitt. History tells us that he used a basic design and made it with a combination of shoe leather and wool. After experimenting with different materials and designs, he finally came up with the oven mitt style of cooking glove.

Thanks to Mr. Mitt, we have all benefited from his mishap and consequent invention of the oven glove. They say that desperation is the mother of invention, and cooks the world over have saved their fingers and hands from burns ever since.

The Transition Between Mr. Mitt’s Oven Mitts and Silicone Oven Gloves

Although Mr. Mitt’s design has continued to this very day, improvements in materials have also taken hold. The discovery of silicone and its heat resistant properties have revolutionized the original design and is a definite upgrade from the traditional cotton insulated gloves the Texan invented.

Silicone oven gloves are now a popular item in kitchens across the globe, and BBQ Pals contribute to the safekeeping of chefs, cooks, BBQ enthusiasts, camp fire cooks, bakers and anyone who needs protection from cookware of all shapes and sizes.

We can’t help but think that pot holders may very well have existed long before Mr. Mitt put his ideas to work. People have been cooking for centuries and versions of heat protection from folded materials to animal skins must have been used since people first started cooking in pots and pans.

Heat resistant grill gloves have come a long way since then, and we here at BBQ Pals are passionate about our product. Helping fellow cooks with the right equipment to be able to prepare and bake and serve delicious foods is something we pride ourselves in.
