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.

Baking at home can bring a lot of enjoyment and fun. Not only do you achieve a sense of accomplishment, but you are in full control of the ingredients. This is so important today as we become more and more aware of the health issues associated with unnatural and processed ingredients and chemical additives.

Because of the wealth of information now available to us, we are also more safety conscious. This is where the necessity of ensuring you have the right equipment in the kitchen comes to light. In order to prevent burns, baking and cooking gloves have drastically improved in quality, and BBQ Pals use an FDA food grade silicone that is able to withstand temperatures up to 425 F.

Being that we use extreme heat to bake and cook, it is vital to be attentive to the potential risks associated within the kitchen. Burns are all too common when moving too fast, or making hasty decisions. When you think about the heat generated by ovens and stove tops, it’s sobering to realize that we often take safety for granted, but the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house.

Kitchen Gloves Prevent Burns in the Kitchen

The two most essential times to be paying attention are when placing foods into the oven, and especially when taking them out. Using your silicone baking gloves at these times rather than a dishtowel or cloth oven mitts is especially recommended.

One of the best safety tips to avoid hazards when handling hot pots and pans is by using silicone grill gloves. Because of the heat resistant qualities of silicone rubber gloves, it provides you with a high level of protection against scolding hot temperatures that would otherwise cause harm to your hands.

The extra raised surface provided by BBQ Pals grill gloves offers that non-slip grip you need to control the placement of the cooked food safely to a flat surface prior to preparing the hot food for serving out for your meal.

Enjoying the baking experience should be coupled with safety minded measures set in place. These precautions will limit the potential for burns and make your kitchen a safe environment. BBQ Pals endeavor to provide kitchen gloves that are an essential part of your kitchen accessories.

Best BBQ Grill Glove for Men

Best BBQ Grill GloveThe requirements for a good quality BBQ grill glove can be boiled down to a very few, but very important features. First of all, a lot of men do not like wearing gloves; however, most men do not want to burn their hands either. With that in mind, BBQ Pals have talked to men about what they look for in a barbeque glove.

Here are the main points that were uncovered during those discussions:

What Men Look for in a Quality BBQ Grill Glove

Burn protection. The grilling glove must be able to protect hands under high heat, and should withstand the occasional brush with an open flame.

Five finger grip. In order to be free to use utensils, turn hot meat, grip heavy pots and pick up a cold beer, the cooking glove must be made of non-slip and easy grip material. The grilling mitt has become a thing of the past – especially since the material used often ends up with burn patches and is hard to clean.

Easy to clean. Most men don’t like to have to spend too much time cleaning the BBQ, so anything that cleans easily is highly recommended.

Multi-purpose. Having a grill glove that can double as a hot pad is a plus. There are times when hot pots need to be placed on a table or bench, but require protection from the heat. The silicone rubber glove meets that condition.

Color. The fire orange color of the BBQ Pals grill glove is considered the most desirable for the men in the interview.

What Men Need When Cooking at the BBQ

Tongs (be careful not to squeeze the meat too hard to avoid losing needed juices)

Spatula (long handled)

Seasonings

Sauces

Pots, pans and drip pans

Large fork, large knife (sharp)

Large plates with covers

Aluminum foil

Grill mop brush

Thermometer

Skewers

Spray bottle

Wire brush

BBQ Pals Grill gloves (silicone grill glove type)

As a manufacturer of premium silicone grill gloves, BBQ Pals are exclusively available on Amazon.com. The popular orange color supports the preferences for both men and women who love to cook at a BBQ.

Cloth Oven Mitts vs Silicone Grill Gloves

When it comes to safety in the kitchen, there is no compromising for you and your family. In order to point out the differences between traditional cloth oven mitts and silicone grill gloves, a group of cooks convened to discuss the pros and cons of both products, and this is what was revealed:

First of all, let’s look at the traditional cloth oven mitts.

Pros and Cons of Cloth Oven Gloves

These are designed to limit heat transfer from the hot pot to your hand. As long as you have a firm grip and do not delay for too long, the old oven mitt does the job. However, most cooks concur that there are times when the baking tray is too hot for this type of oven glove and they prove ineffective in some situations.

Although old fashioned, in some ways there are a lot more design options available in cloth mitts. Being that there’re no limitations on what sort of patterns that can be used, it offers an array of fashionable looking gloves for the kitchen. However, due to the fact that they are usually made of cotton, they tend to stain easily when spills occur. Furthermore, when subjected to naked flames such as gas burners or barbeques, they tend to burn.

Traditional oven mitts can easily be stored in a kitchen drawer, or hung on a hook behind a pantry door – which is convenient. However, when it comes to hygiene, being made of porous material (cotton), food stains and food particles do not meet what would be considered normal health standards. Cleaning them is very difficult as it often breaks down the integrity of the material. Harboring harmful bacteria in the oven glove fibers and surface has been known to cause food related contamination and sickness.

Pros and Cons of Silicone Oven Gloves

The FDA approved food grade silicone is heat resistant up to 425 F. The thickness yet malleable silicone allows for chefs and cooks to handle hot pots and pans with no concerns of the heat transferring to their skin.

The raised surface of the silicone grill glove permits the user to firmly grip utensils without slippage or concerns with burns. Contact with flames is also unnoticed and users are able to submerge their hand into boiling water to retrieve boiled eggs without the danger of scalding.

The easy clean surface of the silicone based oven glove is dishwasher safe, or can be hand washed with warm soapy water.

The non-slip ability of the silicone material allows for safe and controlled transfer of hot foods from the oven to the counter. The grill gloves can also be used as hot pads to prevent heat damage of countertops.

The five finger silicone kitchen glove gives the cook the freedom of movement and added dexterity to manage hot foods and scolding pans and food trays without burning hands.

The advantages of the silicone grill gloves far surpasses the ability of traditional cloth oven mitts. Keeping the family safe from burns, BBQ Pals kitchen gloves are exclusively available on Amazon.com.
