These are great gloves!!! After a year of trial grabs, we gave some as Christmas presents. Perfect for grilling, and snatching pans out of the oven. And fish smell completely washes out of them. Orange certainly is a bright choice – a must have color for UT students – and Bronco football fans who take grills to tailgate at games.
We went for green – well, not because these are environmentally green, it’s just Molly tends to seek out red/ orange things to “play” with. HA HA
Thanks for cooking up a comment

Those gloves look like they’d be wonderful for nighttime grilling. Turn all the lights out and just have the flame from the grill and the glow-in-the-dark gloves. I don’t know about wearing them out to the movies or to dine out. Might be a bit hard to navigate chop sticks for example. Very colorful – I must “hand” it to ya!

Short and to the point – indeed! I have seen these gloves but did not quite trust them but I will take your word that they work. They would be easy to find!

We’ve test grabbed with these gloves for a year and they keep on saving fingers! Your choice of colors: bright blue, scarlet red, Dayglow orange or green. We went with red and green for Christmas presents for people, however, blue seems much more appropriate for cool mitts. Thanks for toasting up a comment to leave

Such elegant ladies having a chat. Improves the texture of life?
Their workplace is pretty hot: grills, ovens, moving heated pans – with ease they grasp the situation and move in protecting those silly humans that can’t seem to keep their hands off hot things. (temperature “hot”, not “borrowed without permission with no plans to return hot”). And even better grilled fish and shrimp smells wash right off…pizza sauce, too. Then they easily perch on water bottles and just stand around until dry. Considering they are hard workers, time is allowed for their conversations. The secret lives of workers…do they trash their employers, do you think?

Now I’m completely sold. I need a pair just for the entertainment value. Plus I burn myself often…

Ditto. They are getting more use than intended here, too. (Hmmm, I can see some real possibilities as robot hands for dishing out candy on Halloween …). Hands down, these things have creative uses.

See, now a red pair would work for Christmas and Valentines and Lunar New Year. These two seemed to be in deep conversation over St Patrick’s Day plans…shrimp, perhaps? Thanks for adding a holiday glow!

Any time! And yes, red would be more winter holiday, but green is looking toward spring. Nice touch; I like where you’re headed.

Hands off the color selection, then.
