My dd would like some oven gloves (shes fed up of using tea towels) I have a pair (the joined together type) but find them bulky and not easy to grip things with.
I tried a pair of the rubber/silicone ones in a shop and found them a bit more flexible, but yet I cant seem to get my head around that the heat wont come through and bun my hands.. 
Have you even unknowingly put your foot in it?
