Come on – we’ve all done it. Kept the oven gloves a bit too long, or ignored the Heavy Duty Oven Glove to buy the cheaper ones because they were pretty.
Then taken a big heavy baking dish out of the oven, got halfway to the counter and started yelping as the heat begins to seep through.
Just this week I did this exact “ow. OW! Ow owowOW OW OW!” yelping dance as I flung the roasting tin at the top of the cooker, prying that the contents wouldn’t throw themselves everywhere while I tried to save myself from 2nd degree burns on my hands.
Time for new oven gloves, for sure. And lookety look what I spotted when I headed over to Lakeland to find some;
Their exclusive Heavy Duty Double Oven Glove is currently on offer, reduced from £11 to under a fiver!
Yes it may not be glamourously floral, or hilariously covered in pugs. But the cotton and natural fibre mix will offer much longer protection, and the triple-lined palms safely deal with dishes from ovens up to 240°C. That’ll do, I think!
They’ve even considered my pet peeve – a double oven glove with such a short reach you can’t actually manoeuvre it around a large dish – this one has pockets 48cm (19″) apart which totally allows you to move freely. And if you DO happen to splosh the turkey juices all over them at Christmas (*cough*) these can be machine washed to keep them good as new.
In fact, Lakeland say that in tests, a roasting dish from an oven at 240°C was held comfortably for over a minute. More than long enough to make it safely to the kitchen surface, or straight to the table.
The Heavy Duty Oven Glove is exclusive to Lakeland, and currently reduced from £11.99 to £4.99. Proper Bargain!
